PROPS for CoralProps!!! - Reef-Geeks

returnofsid · Reef-Geek

Henk, the owner of Coral Props, was kind enough to allow our club to invade his green house, yesterday. WOW!!! What an amazing field trip. Some of the most beautiful clams I've ever seen, and LOTS of them!!! I'm not talking lil' 2" ones either. Many of these were 6" plus! Keep your eye out, on this thread, for some pictures, since Henk was generous in allowing me to take lots of pics!!!

We came home with a few beautiful Zoanthids, a couple members got amazing clams....

All in all, I can't praise CoralProps enough, on the care he gives to his livestock, through QT procedures and quality of maintenance. Even with only natural lighting, it was apparent that his stock was of the highest quality!!

Time for Pics!!!

Introducing Henk...

Now for some of his beautiful livestock.

Please understand that this is ALL under natural sunlight. No supplemental light at all. Still, IMO, beautiful livestock and I think you'll all agree.
Oh, notice the size of the clams! We're talking 6" +

Also keep in mind, not everything photographed is available for sale, as some photographs are of mother colonies.

Many more photos can be seen, here, Coral Props Field Trip - a set on Flickr

Henk, if desired, you're welcome to any of these photos, for your use. Thank you so much, for allowing me to photograph your wonderful operation!

What's worse is now I am the proud owner of one of those clams

I'll have to take a pic of him tonight now that he is settled into QT - a 4.5" clam (as listed on Henks site)... That bad boy has to be 5"+

As promised - just one of the dozens of super huge and healthy clams I was drooling over - stoopid bank account only let me take 1 home

I let sharkbait get in there so you can get an idea of size. Clam is still getting used to the LED in the QT tank

Thanks Michael and Joanne for posting the pictures. The field trip was really great!

I moved today 2 more clams out of quarantine and hopefully I will be able to make some pics of them tomorrow for the website. One of them, a gold colored polynesian clam, is just unbelievable beautiful.

OMG that gold maxima is UNBELIEVEABLE!! I'd give up my first born clownfish for that one for sure!!!!

I saw Michael snuck in a pic of it in his flickr stream

Took some pictures of it for my website. Unfortunately it was snowing and there wasn't a lot of light due to the snow on the greenhouse. But you get a feeling for how beautiful it is.

Here's the picture I took of it, while topping off your QT system, with drool. I REALLY WANT that clam! I noticed it, go up on your site, and have looked at it, probably 20 times since!!

coralprops · Newbie-Geek

LOL. That’s why the salinity of the quarantine tank was so low, it was the drool!

Yes, it is an amazing clam. I made some new pictures of it a couple of days ago with much more sun light. I am planning to post them in a couple of days and post them also in this tread.
