new store, new corals

i was cruising CL and found an advert for $10 corals. i clicked and saw pics of chalices and sun corals and other stuff that i didn't think would be selling for 10 bucks so i emailed the guy and asked for specific prices on a few pieces. he said they were all $10. i figured it was worth th 30 minute drive and sure enough, he's got a separate frag tank that says everything $9.99. there were lots of zoas and mushrooms but way more "good stuff" than i was expecting. i had to limit myself to 50 bucks so i walked out with these.

anyone who's near Norridge, IL should check them out (Coral Reef Pet Center). they got birds and stuffs too!

 

Wow, great prices and awesome coral! Glad you happened to come across the ad. Congrats!!

 

the colors are a bit off. i had to play with the white balance on my camera so the Phoenix 14k wasn't washing them out. the chalices are awesome.

also, i thought number four was just a favia but the more i look at it i'm not certain. the walls look too irregular. what do you think

 

I thought it was favia too because it looks a lot like mine. I'm sure if we are wrong someone on here will correct us!

 

I don't know if it's a favia, but it looks to be a faviid for sure. It looks like it may be a favia maxima or favia speciosa.

Grats on those pickups, seems like a pretty sweet deal to me!

 

cool... for $10 a piece thats awesome. some lfs around us would easily charge $25 a piece or more.

 

that's a pretty good eye you got there. all my favias have been more uniform and crowded but the favia speciosa looks dead on.

oh yeah, i've seen people asking 10 buck a head for sun corals, this guy has 6 1/2 and i got it for 10. it's pretty close to you, you should definitely go pay them a visit

 

I will...today im up to mundelein to pick up an awesome looking leopard wrasse.

But yea pm me the info for this place.

 

yea you just got a slammin' deal! should go back and grab another $50 spot worth. IMHO.. when I see a deal like that, I get them right there, because someone else will..

 

Nice pick ups
