Default Another new coral

Today we purchased a very nice Perogyra, wasn't bad for £35. Was also going to buy a big lump of Galexia but decided there was tooooo much for it to sting and kill with sweepers reaching 1ft.

We mainly use Hobby Fish(where this ones from) which is on the A5 towards Towcester, Maidenhead Aquatics in Woburn Sands and Dobbies in Fenny Stratford. Have been to a shop in St Albans...can't remember the name and The World of Water in Oxford too but don't go there too much.

Yeah was just about to ask you if you have been to the Pets@Home in Hemel. I work in the one in MK and they dont' have marines. Meaning to go down there and have a look as I will have 20% staff discount

I want the one in MK to be fitted with marines so I can go down to TMC. Whether or not we ever will is another matter. Just think, I could go down there and pic whatever I wanted AND get 20% off......heaven!

I found the World of Water to be expensive and wasn't impressed with their stock.

Yeah Korans are ok.....if you dont mind your corals being eaten! I've always wanted one. It would think it is its birthday in my tank! As you've probably read they change their colour and pattern totally as they get bigger and quite a lot die during this transformation, which I've always found quite weird. Prefer their Juvie colours actually, stunning.

Yeah I may do that. Would be great if he could, my brother is the Deputy Manager at the MK store too so he has more authority to 'order' him to take us there

Yeah Maidenheads weird, some of the prices are good but others sooo expensive! Although we got an Elegance coral from there that was pretty cheap at £60, usually £80 or more most places around here.

I am my discount card unfortunatly so no can do.
You can only ask of discount off the guy. We are forever asking for discount on things. Especially if a coral is dying off a bit, asking for it half price. Its better the shop sell it for something then let it die off and get nothing.

If there is any coral or fish you are after you could just ask him to get you some next time they do an order.
