300 tank tear down. selling livestock cheap

[gotreef]

Over the course of the next month I am going to be tearing down my 300 gallon reef tank before I move again. It's just too expensive and maddening to move such a huge tank...recently i moved it and lost a bunch of amazing fish that I've had for years, and all of my sps corals that were enormous colonies.

I need to find homes for the livestock and am willing to sell the fish at a discount. The only coral left is huge leather corals (actually two really beautiful pieces) and a gorgonian, some frogspawn...

As far as fish, there are 3 huge tangs....

Naso tang, hippo tang, Kole tang, all 7"+
emperor angel, almost full adult
lemonpeel and coral beauty
mandarin goby
tomato clown complete with 3 HUGE rose BTAs
2 foxface (magnificent and one spot)
saddleback butterfly

I also have a 9 inch Deresa clam that I grew from a little nugget.

I'm willing to part with the fish at a discount. They're all mostly tank raised, eat pellets, flakes, nori, fresh seafood....they're fat, happy, and healthy specimens. The tangs are about 5 years old, the rest between 2 and 4 years old.

PM me with your best offer for anything you want and we'll set up a deal. I live 30 miles north of NYC in westchester county. You need to pick up what you want at my house.

Do either of the foxfaces have a taste for hair algae or bryopsis?

You need to list prices for all individuals if you are seeking by piece or a lot price. Just a warning before the mods get here

Any pics of the fish and leathers? Thanks.

 

[mrnyreef]

Prices and pictures?

OK. I'm going to post pictures of all the coral today and the clam.

Because of the overwhelming interest I need to do this in stages. The fish can't be caught easily with all of the coral and rocks in there, so for right now I'm only selling the coral, the gorgonian, and the clam.

Next week I will begin selling the fish when the tank is otherwise empty. I didn't realize how quickly this would gain traction with the members here, so I apologize for not being fully prepared ahead of time. I'm posting prices based on how much demand there is. If no one is interested at these prices then I'll ratchet them down. All of the leathers come with the big live rock that they are attached to.

PRICES ON NEXT PAGE

The Blue/Purple Sinularia is about 12''x12''x12'' new price below

The 3 rose BTAs and tomato clown are a package deal new price below

The 9'' deresa clam SOLD

The 14'' gorgonian new price below

sun coral with 20 healthy heads new price below

Massive toadstool new price below

snowflake finger sinularia (attached to huge piece of live rock) new price below

I have a few sps corals that survived the move....I'll post pics of these too. The only one that's large is a purple ORA monti. it's 6''x6''

Now how do I post pictures???

When you post a replyscroll down before re you submit and click manage attachments. Then you can upload them 1 by 1. At least that's the way I know of adding them

The clam I can do a top shot if need be...the color is Gold and Green, picture doesnt really do it justice from this angle.

When a small frag is $50 and I'm asking $300 for a five year old enormous colony i dont think it's unreasonable. That being said, I'm open to package deals and offers. I mean, I obviously spent a lot of time and care growing these colonies and they're awesome and worth more than what I'm asking, but I'm open to reasonable offers....

The fish are perfect specimens and large and tank raised. I am also open to offers on these.
