Hello, and welcome to the first ExoticFrags.us newsletter!
Subscription Information
Chances are that you are on this list if you were subscribed to John’s (tubs) ExoticReefs.us email list. Perhaps you have already sent an email to us at ExoticFrags.us, or perhaps you have expressed interest to us in frags. In any case – welcome, and thank you!
Explanation of ExoticFrags.us
We would like to take this opportunity to give a brief history, description, and explain our relationships between ExoticReefs.us and ExoticFrags.us.
As you probably know, John (tubs) ran an incredible site consisting of a farming network known as ExoticReefs.us for several years. Hector (tacocat) and Jeremy (Who Dah?) were both farmers for John for a couple of years. John needed a break as many veteran aquarists do from time to time. (John has been in the hobby for over 15 years!) He began to talk about taking down his tanks. We were sad to hear about this turn of events, but understood. Then John shocked us by asking if we would take over his farming network that he had put so much time, energy, and effort into!
We were honored and after a brief pow-wow accepted John’s offer. And thus – ExoticFrags.us was born!
The destiny of the former site known as ExoticReefs.us is to become an Internet based retail venue. Information will become available to you as it becomes available to us! Most of John’s corals made it over to us in the interim.
And don’t worry – like a Tunze Wavebox against the side of a tank, we continue to nudge John to: get back in the hobby… get back in the hobby… get back in the hobby…
John continues with us as a partner in ExoticFrags.us as well.
Our Corals
A long time in the making, ExoticFrags.us has been open for business for a few months now. We wanted to create an artistic and exotic site to serve our ExoticFrags.us customers! Functionality and Usability experts can check their bags at the door, and we hope you enjoy the site’s and graphic artist’s unique appeal! Several of the pillar farmers have already begun sending in frags and it is very exciting! Purple Monster, Icefire Echinata, and Superman Digis & Danae’s from BenT; Miami Orchid, Acroberry, and Uknown Stags from gcarrol; Pink Lemonade, Candlelight Acro and Icefire Echinata from unarce; Superman Danae, Tyree (tubs) alien eye, Rasta Echino, and tubs Halloween Monti from tubs (oh yes, he still has corals with us! ).
Of course Who Dah? and tacocat have continued farming with corals such as Who Dah?’s Cat Eyes, Sour Apples, Pink Zippers, and Purple Death or tacocat’s Cyphastreas, and ORA Blue Polyped Acro.
And new farmers are bringing things to the table as well! Da6d2003 has contributed his famous Nuclear Green Palys, Candy Apple Reds, and Fire & Ice Zoanthids. thefishstore has brought in a few Aussie Acans for us as well!
Many other corals are presented by ExoticFrags.us for a slew of other farmers as well.

Enough Talk. As John would say – eye Candy Time!
Here are some beauties that we currently have available!
Pink Lemonade
Yes – we have a single frag of Pink Lemonade available!!! Due to the extreme rarity of this coral and the limited offerings we have, this coral is being reserved for a multi-coral order. Would you like to be the one to own the most sought after SPS in the United States? Let us know!
Purple Death & Nuclear Green Palys
We have both the Purple Death and Nuclear green pairs in stock now! These particular palys have had even SPS-only aquarists expanding their limited-species collections!
tubs Rasta, Tyree (tubs) Alien Eye, & tubs Branching Alien Eye Echinos
Check out this group of Echinos we have available — all from tubs! The highly sought after Rasta Watermelon Echino, and the staple Echinos for any Echino collector: the Tyree (tubs) Alien Eye and tubs Branching Alien Eye!
