The Search for the ever elusive Black Fan Coral

[PokeSephiroth]

Would anyone be willing to help me acquire some of these black sea fan corals? I'd love to use them in a brackish water setup, but can't seem to find any stores locally that have them. Only places I've seen them being sold is online, which I guess isn't so bad... but still. Anyone? Anyone??

EBAY/ETSY are out of the question. Just. No.

Any leads on any stores that might sell them locally would be a plus!

Go to jake's museum in long beach. I'm pretty sure they have them. They have lots of shells, sand dollars, alligator man, sea decor, and star fish and what not. I'm sure they would have it.

Shortykilogyrl: funny you should mention that, but we were actually there last month! And i did check if they had any, but there was none.

That's actually where I got my round sand art thingy!

Thanks Cory, I'll give em a call

Is that a real chunk of coral? Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper/sturdier/less environmentally damaging to get a synthetic?

Not trying to be judgmental, just a big coral reef fan. If you don't want to buy from ebay I can buy this and sell it to you at a $20 markup? muahahahahaha

It is real, but also dead coral. So I don't think it would be detrimental

That being said, artificial ones just don't look authentic enough. Hehehe
