green sarco, how uncommon?

therealw00 · 03/16/2006, 04:54 PM

Hi all,

I was wondering how uncommon this sarcophyton is? The only green leathers I ever see are the "Tyree LE" ones which just have green polyps. I got it as a small frag many years ago and have never fragged it till now. Pics under 250w 14k phoenix, no supplemental lighting. I am not ready to start selling frags yet, but what do you think is a fair price so I don't screw anybody (including myself...)

I have been sort of out of the loop the last year or two from reefing and I am just starting to get back into it and stock up my tank more.

Thanks!

i personally think its beautiful. Dont see to many true green bodied/polyped leathers like that. Unfortunatly i have no clue as to what a fair price would be.

A lot of times, let the martket decide the value is a good idea. I'm not sure if it is rare, but I like it!

I will take a frag when you are ready to sell. So, put me in your list and let me know when.

those are sweet! i saw a thread for frags going at $35 each. and they were about the size of a ping pong ball.........

reefpeep2004 · 03/16/2006, 05:40 PM

They were $25 at a recent frag swap (1")

raskal311 · 03/16/2006, 06:23 PM

That little one looks like its worth $25-$30. I got a few 1.5 inch unopen frags from someone out of state for $30 shipped awhile ago.

therealw00 · 03/16/2006, 06:36 PM

great! thank you guys, that gives me a good idea

Two people might already be interested, but here are all my frags. I am also interested in trades. Located in OC 92780.

Hurgoth · 04/15/2006, 06:42 PM

I am interested... cash or zoo frags?

Fmellish · 04/16/2006, 03:12 AM

Most of mine are green, however they dull out over time. Now, they only turn green when molested.

therealw00 · 04/16/2006, 04:39 AM

I will finish responding to posts and pm in the afternoon. Thank you!!

jaypainter24 · 04/16/2006, 09:29 AM

I have something that looks similar to the green sarco. I also have a normal green leather. Is my green sarco the same thing?

therealw00 · 04/16/2006, 09:58 PM

Yea, looks the same to me, I can't tell from the picture if yours has fingers coming up out of the center, mine doesn't have the fingers. The other one with green-tipped polyps is different.

GinaSofia · 04/19/2006, 03:43 PM

I just got mine.Boy,are you generous.I've never seen anything like this..very nice.Thanks a bunch.

john37 · 04/19/2006, 03:46 PM

ScotchMaster · 04/19/2006, 03:52 PM

GTR · 04/19/2006, 05:46 PM

When you cut into the tissue was it pretty much the same color all the way through?

therealw00 · 04/19/2006, 06:33 PM

Gina - Cool, I am happy you like it.

gtrestoration - the tissue is tan underneath, as is the stem of the toadstool; the mother colony also got very unhappy when I fragged it and didn't open for quite a few days, it also got duller but the color is coming back now

Wow, a lot of people want frags. Here is the current list.

Ok, here is the waiting list:

1. super noob
2. fliger
3. foogoo
4. jaypainter24
5. sr71
6. ScotchMaster
