Mistress Reef Coral Availability

Mistress Reef Coral Availability
Updated 2^nd April, 2004

Welcome to my availability page!

All coral fragments are directly from my 120gal reef display tank.
Most came to me as frags; the same way I am offering them now!
(Lighting is from 2x175w 10kK MH and 2x110w VHO actinic).

Please be aware that I am not a coral "business",
just a devoted hobbyist of 4 years offering to share
pruned pieces of my captively raised corals as a service to the hobby
(and to help pay for it's upkeep :c)
This means I may not be able to offer some of the benefits
(and drawbacks) of a full blown aquaculture facility;
I may need some time to pull things together,
but I will strive to make your mail order experience enjoyable!

My 4' x 2' 120 gallon captive reef aquarium

An Acropora colony that started as a frag

Seriotopora (birdsnest); from 1" frag to colony in about a year!

How it works:

Sizes are generally ~1" (one inch) in length for $10, and are un-mounted.
Other sizes may be available, just ask.
They will need to be attached to the target area in your reef!
I prefer to ship "loose", as it's easier on me and on the coral.
However, mounting to rubble is available for an additional $5 ea.

Most requests are cut to order immediately after receiving payment (very limited grow-out room), and are shipped at a mutually agreeable time within a day or two, though some corals may need a little longer to heal over prior to being mailed.

Note: Pruning isn't an exact science; if one frag is a little small,
I will try and make up for it with a larger piece of the next coral!

Shipping is via USPS or FedEx standard overnight
I Prefer to have the package held for pickup at your local World Service Center

There are no box or handling charges,
though I may offer size upgrades if you offer to return my cooler!

Package examples:
4-pack..$75 6-pack..$95 8-pack..$110
This includes shipping to most major cities!
(Hold for pickup at FedEx or USPS)

Payment is preferred through PayPal for fastest shipment.
Money orders and personal checks (must clear) are also welcome.

For more info, or to place an order, please E-MAIL me!

Note: When the new growth of a colony is fragged, it becomes a new "generation" of livestock.
(one number higher than the parent, regardless of how many pieces are cut from the colony).
When the frag grows into a colony, it's new growth will become the "next" generation!
