We just added a new local farmer to ExoticFrags, DML08. His first piece: the Mille Madness!
DML08’s tank is a T5 lit tank. We are still attempting to reproduce the coloration he is able to achieve with our Halide lit tank. But the piece is so incredible in his tank that we thought it would warrant grabbing your attention!
Check out the Mille Madness page for more details and frag availability.
So Hector just got a new Apple iPhone. I just got a new Palm Pre. (Imagine the internal debates THAT induces!) It was only natural to make ExoticFrags go mobile. 
When you visit our site, we should now be detecting if you are on a mobile device. (iPhone, Pre, Blackberry, Treo, Moto, Nokia, whatever!) You will be offered a link to our mobile site at the very top of the page. Or, you can visit the more streamlined and mobile version of our site on any device (phone, laptop, whatever) by following this link: www.exoticfrags.us/m
I’m still working out a couple of bugs, but please feel free to check it out and give us some feedback. We’d love to here what works, what doesn’t, what you like, and what you don’t like.
Enjoy the eye candy, and enjoy ExoticFrags mobile!

What we feed our tanks
We are often asked what we feed our tanks. Our fish we typically feed PE Mysis or H2O Life Mysis when we need a smaller version. Arcti-Pods are also on our fish feeding list. We’ll use specialty foods when necessary to wing a finicky fish onto our standard foods. And of course we’ll put in strips of algae for our herbivores.
But of course when asked this question, the inquirer is more so interested in what we feed our corals. And the answer to that is: we love the Reef Nutrition lineup! More information on their foods can be seen here:
Our favorites (in no particular order) are Arcti-Pods, Phyto Feast, Roti Feast, and Oyster Feast.
We tyipcally global feed the tanks. Lately, Hector has been feeding all of these each day. Jeremy tends to cycle through one food a day on a continual rotating basis.
Featured Corals
We’ve got some nice Wildfire Monti’s from wishntoboutside. These are very bright in the tank!
We have some Pink Lemonade available again, woohoo!
As well as some nifty Jesus Echinata:
BA-CFM
We just got back from BA-CFM. Although we didn’t do many coral pickups, it was nice to visit with many of our friends. We did pickup a Monster sized Purple Monster frag from bent. Feel free to inquire if interested.

It has been a while since we’ve posted on our blog. Time to fix that!
I’ll keep it short – here are a few shots of some new items.
We recently replenished our stock and now have AOIs available!
New to the site, we’ve got an older morph that has resurfaced: Black Widow. This is available from one of our new farmers, mpoletti!
We now have Key Lime Mango Sherbert Mycedium LE available too:
Would you like any of these? Visit our homepage and click ‘Contact Us’ on the left!
Talk to you soon,
-Jeremy (Who Dah?)
It has been a while since we posted on the blog last. We just wanted to drop a quick line to say Happy Holidays to all of you!
We will resume shipments on the week of January 5th after the seasonal rush. If you would like anything, feel free to drop us a line and we can reserve it for you until that time.
Thanks, we’ll see you in 2009!

Hello all, just a quick post of some recent events!
Mummy Eye Echino Released!
At ExoticFrags, we have kept the original Mummy Eye colonies (split into two upon acquisition into Hector and Jeremy’s tanks) for over an entire year. This is the real deal that you have perhaps seen referenced as the ‘Reverse Watermelon’ as well.
We are proud to finally release a frag of the Mummy Eye! It is currently up for auction on eBay and closes tomorrow (Sunday the 3rd) night. It can be seen and bid on here:

Upcoming corals
We are in the process of updating our site with some new stock. Some of these corals include:
GARF Bonsai
Aquadelight
And a new release coral, the Cotton Candy Favia:
Many more updates are in the works and we’ll let you know as they develop! A shipment from SPStoner is due in this week that we are really excited about. Our next shipment from Greg Hiller is in the works. And ExoticFrags is happy to welcome our new farmer who supplied us with some great Aqua Delight frags and others in the works: sb1227. Welcome!
SouthWestern Coral Farmers Market, February 24th
We will be attending the SouthWestern Coral Farmers Market on February 24th in Ontario California. We’ll be sharing a booth with our friends over at Coral Cradle. (Thanks Vince!) If there is anything you would like us to bring to the event, please let us know. We are happy to save you some shipping costs!
Thanks,

Hello all,
Happy new year and Best Wishes for 2008!
Our New Year
Our new year was spent transferring a tank at the stroke of midnight due to a leak! It was Jeremy’s display tank setup in the living room. Luckily, we had another tank near-prepped and ready to go as I was planning on taking down that tank anyways to redo the flooring. As best diagnosed at the time, the leak was on one of the seams underneath the tank. Water was leaking out between the tank and stand with no visible water around the outside border nor around the bulkheads. (We couldn’t feel any water either.) The leaky tank has been given away to someone in our local club who plans on re-sealing the tank prior to use. My corals are now in a frag tank on the opposite wall of the main ExoticFrags holding tank in it’s dedicated tank room. Time to add more circuit breakers to the fish room. What a night!
Now Shipping
Now that the holiday season has passed, ExoticFrags has resumed shipping again. We recently did a pickup at both unarce’s place and gcarroll’s place. We have a couple of Eddie’s Purple Monsters, Tyree Purple Monster, more Ultimate Stags, and even a Pumpkin Patch Echino which will go live on the site very shortly. We might be able to get a Rastafarian Echino or two up on the site, along with a couple Baby’s Breaths too.
Thanks for a Great 2007!
Thank you all for an outstanding first year of ExoticFrags in 2007. We look forward to serving you in 2008!

Hello all,
I wanted to do a quick post to share a very nice coral with you.
Check out this nifty Indo Brain! The colors on this guy are just insane. It reminds me of the ‘Melting Pot Echino’. Melting Pot Brain?
My jaw simply dropped when I saw this guy.
Overall shot:
I figured the first thing everyone would want to see after that shot is a flash shot. So I took one!
And a few close-ups:
Pretty spectacular, eh?
Night all!

Man oh man, do we have a coral update!
Where do we begin… Shall we talk about Aussie Acans? Frags from the return of ExoticReefs? Perhaps about another forefather farmer sending in primo stuff? The ‘holy trilogy’ of SPS corals that we have replenished? Decisions decisions… Well, how about in the order mentioned?
Aussie Acans: We have a ton of new Aussie Acans! So many in fact, that we made a nifty little page to showcase them (and a few other corals, but more on that in a moment…). These are colonies, not frags. These shots are WYSIWYG, and there are many to choose from! Here is a sampling:
Oh, and you gotta check out this Scolymia. We only have 1!
All of these and *many* more can be seen here on our special Acan Mayhem page:
http://www.exoticfrags.us/acan_mayhem.php
On that same page, you’ll see our first shipment of corals from… Get this… ExoticReefs! Yup yup, our good ol’ buddy (and partner) tubs is at it again, and we have some nifty pieces!
Check out this nifty monti. This is the first time it is being offered:
Incredible blastos, yumas, and mini Dendros too!
See them all on the same Acan Mayhem page:
http://www.exoticfrags.us/acan_mayhem.php
And welcome back SPStoner! He says, “hi” to you all, and offers ORA Bottle Brush, SPStoner echinata, tubs echinata, chalice, and much more.
ORA Bottle Brush:
SPStoner Echinata:
Check out all of his available corals here:
http://www.exoticfrags.us/corals.php?f=55
And yes, the primo frags ARE BACK. The unobtainable. The ones you never see for sale. The ones that have waiting lists for years… They are back, we have in stock, right now, the incredible: Pink Lemonade, Purple Monster, and IceFire Echinata!
You read that right… All three are in stock and available now! Even we had to take a moment to stop and appreciate the moment of the collective whole of these corals. Not only are they in our tanks at the same time, but available at the same time to boot!
So come on by, check out the massive update here at:
http://www.ExoticFrags.us
We suspect that stock will fly off our frag racks quickly, so the sooner the better! Christmas is coming up. Great time for a gift, no? But just as happy as we are to celebrate Christmas and the new year with our friends and loved ones, we will be sad not being able to ship during the Christmas and New Year season. It’s just too risky for our corals and not worth the losses induced by delayed deliveries during the busiest shipping time of the year. Having said that, our last shipment date for 2007 will be December 12th. We will take a quick break to enjoy the holidays and resume shipping on January 9th of 2008. So get those orders in quick!
Thank you very much,
Hector & Jeremy
