I recently recieved the amazing LE Tyrone Cactus coral from Addboy (Garrett). It is quite amazing and rare. I am asking $45 for a 1" frag. FYI my fish won't get near this thing so don't worry about getting bites.

Here is what Tyrone from Cactifarmers says about this Cactus Coral "The Cactus Corals have a thick, hard-walled, succulent like stem. Water is stored in the stem. The branches are photosynthetic, green, and fleshy. The inside of the branches are either spongy or hollow. A thick, waxy coating keeps the water inside the Cactus Coral from evaporating."

Wow..., I was keeping it in a planter on the porch, but it really colored up in saltwater. Maybe we should transplant some ferns from the back yard to the grow out tank. *Laugh

I was thinking that elephant ear you have out back would look great if I ever upgrade to a 210g.

Is that the Arizona desert genus?

No..Nevada. It is the step-child of the prickly pear.

I thought you used Photoshop to make it look like Peyote. I still want a frag.
