Looks alright for prices, I'm over in Townsville do u know if they deliver or just local?

 

[Darylb]

I can find out for you if not I could possibly do it for you?

 

[Darylb]

I'm not sure ill ask and if not I could possibly look into buying it and sending it over to you?

How large are these pieces for those prices? I mean "hammer corals 10 each" means what? Is that 10 dollars a head? It's about retail IMO.

This is his collection of torch corals

This guy isn't collecting, he's making wholesale purchases with intentions to resell. He's a retailer without a brick and mortar store. To answer your question, those prices are just about retail.

Oh okay I been talking to him for a bit now and he reckons he is just a collector but you can see he isn't he sent me a pic of his tank in his house its just full of shrooms

Go see his stuff, and if you like it, buy it. I don't know what things are going for in Aussie, but I'm guessing you should be able to buy some pretty nice Aussie stuff (Australian corals are the most colorful and generally most expensive available) for a decent price, since shipping is much cheaper than it would be for us.

Yea ill go have a look and take some pics and defiantly update this thread if I can get them cheap I might look into seeing how much I can post em out for if you guys like them
