LoneStarReefer Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hey NW reefers. I am a fellow reefer from TX. I am on vacay with my family in Cannon Beach and then on to Portland Friday through early next week. Would love to take a few frags back with me to Texas. Any unique corals out there someone wants to frag and sell? Would probably pick up Monday night or Tuesday AM. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBret Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'm sure other will speak up as to what they have but if zoanthids are your thing i have a small reef shop in Hillsboro called Paradise Coral, right off Hwy 26 as your headed to Portland......a few pics to follow. If there is a certain coral your after your best bet is to spell it out and see if another member has it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You should check out Cuttlefish and Corals as well as the above mentioned. Also All Things Aquarium, Upscales, and Woody's Seahorse Aquarium. What types of coral are you looking for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 There is a members map on the site that shows the locations of the local shops that have been mentioned here if you ended up having time. Also the sponsor page has links to their websites for additional info. Hope you are enjoying your trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarReefer Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thanks everyone! @lewisriverfisherman I am looking mainly for SPS corals. Would love to get an Oregon tort. Got one from a local reefer in Dallas I thought was one but I’m not sure it’s a true one. Has some greenish hues to the base. I think it’s a Cali Tort. Good call on Cuttlefish and Corals. Heard it’s a great store. @MrBret your store looks amazing! We will be passing right by your store tomorrow on our way to Portland but unfortunately we aren’t flying out until Tuesday.

That sounds like California tort to me that you have, it should be all blue. I know there is a few people that have this coral around on the forum. I unfortunately lost mine in a mini crash, it was a sad day as I only paid $30 for a nice frag of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 For Oregon Tort, call Jeff at CuttleFish ahead of time, and see if they have one/can get one in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttleFishandCoral Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 There is a lot of great local hobbyist that I’m surprised haven’t spoke up yet. The northwest is full of great homegrown corals that I’m sure are different then the ones in Texas. Rudy’s(golden basket) place is awesome but has limited hours so check before u go.
