Columbine Reef Auction--Caulastrea (trumpet)

[Rebel]

This is another show-sized colony, at least 60-70 heads of blue spruce Caulastrea trumpets. Unfortunately, I do not have a good pic that shows the whole thing--most of it is behind the reef--but it is grapefruit sized. If you like big colonies, this would look great as a centerpiece, or, if you're into fragging, you could have a field day making as many frags as you can.

Auction guidelines:
Bid in any whole-dollar increments you would like. The auction will run until 7:00 p.m. Friday March 22—I will take the highest bid where the time stamp reads 6:59 or earlier. If you have questions, please PM me and I will respond as quickly as I can. Cheers.

Opening bid: $60

This pic shows about 1/4 or so of it.

Here is a much older pic showing about half of what is there.

How many heads?

 

[Rebel]

I honestly do not know. Half of it is shaded behind the reef so I cannot tell. If I had to guess, 50-70 or so, but I don't know what sort of shape the heads away from the light might be in.

50-70 good heads or total heads?

Its a nice healthy colony - I took the first pic. Even if it has a couple unhealthy heads shaded in the back its still a steal at the current bid of $60, that like $1 a head. cmon now.

Thanks Kris. Honestly, it is not one that gets a lot of attention from me--I will give it a thorough look tomorrow and see what I can report back.

The auction will be closing tomorrow, and I may not be online at the exact moment if closes, so I wanted to send a final reminder that once the clock hits 7:00 p.m. the auction is closed, so I will accept bids up until 6:59 p.m.

Once it closes, I will try to PM the winning bidder to verify and schedule pick-up day/time. I don’t need a to-the-minute itinerary, but a general ballpark will help me keep things straight, know whom to expect, and prevent me from waiting all the way until 4:00 when no one else is coming.
The address is:
Columbine High School
6201 S. Pierce St.
Littleton, CO 80123

You will want to park in the upper lot—the one at the light on Pierce and ?Leawood? The building will be open, so come in the front doors (under the arched awning) and walk straight down the main hallway all the way to the end. Turn right and you’re in the library. The reef is in the back-right corner of the library in case I am in the back room.
