NEW Superman Monti Soloman Islands

I think about it like this, coral for my tank or food for my belly next week.....hmmmmm

 

HOLEY CRAP!!!! I did not see the size!!!!!!!! I would grab that thing up in a second and frag it like Bluewater said.... I though it was for a tiny frag like they usually are, I thought divers den had gone insane!

 

I would not pay $80.00 for this RARE SUPERMAN MONTIPORA LIVE SPS CORAL FRAG RED & Blue - eBay (item 260378190173 end time Mar-20-09 20:24:27 PDT).
It looks a little brown and its ebay which you really don't know what your getting. I would sooner pay $215 for the other from a reputable site.

 

They have one more Monti very similar same price on Divers Den under SPS section

 

I know but I'm just saying a frag of what you showed is worth a lot of money. It's worth $180. (If it's true superman) Problem I have with buying stuff on the internet is I need to see it.. There are people calling similar corals superman and it may not be "true" superman.

 

Says who? Not to try to ruffle feathers, but I would do some research first. There's quite a few threads right here about diver's den and photoshop

 

I called them and they said the pics are taken under 20,000k 400watt with no actinics. If I get it and it does not look the pic they will probably make up some excuse so they dont have to refund any money

 

What is a "True Superman". Are you saying that only one colony in the world is true and anything else is not a true superrman

 

No, but many people have very similar corals that can get away with calling them true, +1 on being careful but divers den is a pretty reputable site, plus there in Wi

 

one thing you have to remember about the superman and all the different "bright" colored corals that we are seeing is that the colors that we see might not be the colors we get when we put it in our tank due to the zoothelia (my spelling sucks ) and our lighting conditions. True supermans will retain their color better then other supermans will but will also be different colored somewhat

I bought a true superman frag from somebody...it is blue. I recently saw a frag of the same colony in another persons tank and it was not as blue as mine in fact very drab! He has the same amt of MH as I do

Plus you have to be comfortable with the amount of money that you spend on a coral (SOMETHING I REALLY NEED TO CONTROL ON ME!) and be able to live with yourself if something happens to it! I have cut back on WHAT coral I buy and am buying only the more expensive rare pieces. I bought a $250 Miami Hurricane chalice a month or so ago. It is not doing very well...treating it for a bacterial infection or a pest of some kind!
