I've seen them here in Madison ... and I've seen them under their more scientific name - though I forget what that is.
I'm pretty sure Aq. Superstore here has them, maybe Aquatic Specialties ... possibly the Animart near East Town. I'd go with those stores in that order ... and forget Pet [death] Warehouse and the other place in Monona that charges about 3x everyone else's too expensive prices.
I'd look around for the scientific and other common names, as LM I've seen more online than elsewhere. But i've seen them this week at one of the LFS, been to all 3 so I forget which.

Join a reef group [maybe the Wis Reef Society] ... in the Madison group any number of people would love to give you their xenia. Once established, it grows like a weed in a lot of people's tanks.
Too bad you're too far from Madison ... seems like our little reef group here has lots of people giving free corals, mostly `simple' ones like polyps, yellow polyps, xenia ... but I've also gotten 2 acros, a pocillapora, and a toadstool over the last 4 months.
Give me a month I'd be happy to pass along some mushrooms ... probably 3-4 months until I'd be having a number of other things - but even if you pay $5 or $10 for a frag - reef groups have been one of the better resources I've found.
And if you are ever headed to Green Bay ... make sure to hit Gooch's Corals. Best corals in the state, far more than on his site, good prices ... many aquacultured and frags available. Pretty much no fish ... but I can't say enough about the corals I saw when I was there Sat/Sunday. Was hard to stop at 5 frags ...
Anyway, enough of my endless rambling. Hope you get your Lawnmower. |
