Sharkey18 June 29, 2009 June 29, 2009 Thanks to everyone who put on this event. It was awsome. I picked up some great corals and got to chat with a lot of cool people. What was really impressive was the generosity with which people donated corals to be fragged. Hopefully I will have something big enough to frag by next year! Thanks for sharing both info and corals.

mogurnda June 30, 2009 June 30, 2009 Sounds like a great time. Makes me sorry I was laid up with a nasty case of shingles across my eye. Well, the stabbing pain also makes me sorry.

You could have come and had palythoa juice shoot across your eye while fragging like me. Pain was similar. ALWAYS WEAR A FACESHIELD. I was, but failed to put it down.... Again, special props to the vendors that helped out and donated so we could get all those freebies and raffle items.

And, thank the short bald dude that asked not to be named.
treesprite July 3, 2009 July 3, 2009 When I came home I put each of the frags into separate little plastic containers to acclimate tehm, floating teh containers in teh sump to keep the temp proper. There were so many that I didn't notice that one had gotten wedged out of sight. I discovered it this morning. I knew when I opened the lid that there would be a dead coral in there, but didn't expect a stench that practically knocked me off my feet!
Nate July 10, 2009 July 10, 2009 Where did those brown frag plugs that were given out at the frag fest come from? I want to buy some but the only plugs I can find have a tapered end.

lanman July 10, 2009 July 10, 2009 The blue/pink coral that was fragged out at the end for $15 per frag... Has anyone's gotten BLUE on it yet?? Obviously growing? Encrusting?? Light? Flow? I have my (2) frags in HIGH light and Moderate flow - and Moderate light, with high flow. Neither seems to be doing much more than surviving so far. bob
Amuze July 13, 2009 July 13, 2009 How'd that SPS colony Chip got from Diver's Den turn out? Did anyone get frags of that?

It's only been in the DT for a few days, and is starting to show some PE. It's under relatively high light and moderate flow. Jon

Coral Hind July 13, 2009 July 13, 2009 Wow Jan that tank is packed! I can't tell what came from the frag swap and what didn't.

flowerseller July 14, 2009 July 14, 2009 How'd that SPS colony Chip got from Diver's Den turn out? Did anyone get frags of that? The piece I got has encrusted over the cut but has not appeared to have "grown". It's taken on a tad more green blue tinge but still more noticable tan features.
lhcorals July 14, 2009 July 14, 2009 The piece I got has encrusted over the cut but has not appeared to have "grown".It's taken on a tad more green blue tinge but still more noticable tan features. We got a total of 5 pieces of this coral. I have one mounted midway in the tank. It is encrusting the plug and have noticed a little growth, the color is changing just not as fast as the other 4. The other 4 are high in the tank on a frag rack and the color is like Chip said a green/blue tinge. I am going to try to get some pics tomorrow and start a new thread for everyone to show the growth and color of the coral. I hope i can get some decent shots.
treesprite July 14, 2009 July 14, 2009 (edited) Here's some of them. I don't remember what anything is called. I'll have to take pictures of the others I guess. The following frags are from the same coral, all were in a single bag. There was another one which turned all white on me - it was the one I had highest in the tank. The darker one is lower in the tank than the others. Edited July 14, 2009 by treesprite
lanman July 14, 2009 July 14, 2009 One of my DD Barbie acro frags. It is starting to get a slight bluish tint - but basically pinkish. bob
