Free: Sun Coral, needs TLC

missglowbug · 10-24-2006, 02:18 PM

Hi,
I have a sun coral that isn't doing too great. It's not gone yet, but will be soon I am sure due to my lack of time to devote to my tank. I am willing to give it to someone who thinks they may be able to bring it back. I expect nothing for it. If you have some easy zoo's or mushrooms, I would appreciate a trade if you have some to spare, but the deal isn't contingent on me recieving something.

How many polyps are left on the sun?

I have some Palys or zoas I could trade if you think the sun would survive shipping.

I'm afraid not many. I can still still polyps in several of them but they are really shrunk back into the hard part of the coral. If you are interested in seeing if you can save it, just tell me how to ship. I really am not worried about a trade.

You just bag him up in a fish store bag( Not a ziplock- they ALWAYS leak) Put the bag in a thermos ( I buy mine at Wal Mart for 2 or 3 bucks) Place some newspaper in the thermos to keep the bag from sloshing around. Box up the thermos with more newspaper to keep the thermos from banging around in the box. 2nd day priority at the USPS is about 8 bucks. I just shipped a large thermos from Ga to DC for $8.
