let's see those chubby fingers!

hey guys, i was wondering if anybody has some chubby finger leather corals? i'm looking at one from thecoralbroker.com, but are any other color variations? plus, anybody got any pics? thanks! (by the way, does 40 bucks sound like a good deal? regular is 60 from that site)

 

i've seen them from $12-40 at local stores around here

 

recently, i've decided to refuse to buy local, unless i'm getting food, equipment, or supplements... coral selection is mushrooms and polyps, and they're expensive as crud around here (50 bucks for a 2 pound rock with 12 mushrooms and a ricordea floridea) for fish, i MAY buy local, because there's a pretty decent selection between the only 2 stores here... it just depends on how long they've kept the fish without any problems... but its kind of hard to buy from someone that doesn't know what disease the fish has, or that doesn't know a fish's species..

 

hey twan013 i just recently bought one , $5 its massive !!

mine looked like it was purple then has changed into a really nice pinkish red colour overnight ,this pic dont really justify the size as i took the pic in excitement mode and couldnt wait to show !!!

ill post a better one tomorrow mate!

 

wow... looks nice, but not really what i thought it would be... i guess i was thinking the "fingers" might be more upright, instead of drooping down like that... how recently did you buy it?

 

Thanks another coral I want

HI,
Thanks thats a neat picture so neat I want one now..
Jeeze so many corals ..
DOug

 

that last picture is when i first put it in the tank it hadnt come out .Here it is now , yes the fingers to stand up then flop at night

 

ahh, much better... i figured if it was a new addition to the tank, that it would look deflated and sickly.... all part of the acclimation, right?

I think I'd prefer the purple color... the one on thecoralbroker.com is a real dark red or purple, with a green shimmer to it...

 

the colour could depend on lights too i suppose?

 

im just sitting here watching the finger coral start to slightly shrivel up just before the lights go out . Can anyone explain why this happens?
