Frags for Member Volunteers

[rocko918]

Am I the only one who got frags from frag exchange?

[flowerseller]

No, I got 2 and so did Jon Moore, my buddy staying with us from Seattle.

 

This was his 4th MACNA and he volunteered that it was the best show and vendor section he had ever seen.

I got two, and one that I am holding for 143gadgets. Held up at Chip's. Right Chip??????

 

I know 2 and 6 are from the same coral, turbinara (cup coral)

 

pretty sure 8 is as well

[flowerseller]

Yes, but no telling whose is what and what will survive.

 

I completely applaude the efforts of fragexchange.com however a show setting may not be the best senerio for a give away of that magnatude.

I was lucky to have a cooler to place/store them, unlike most of the attendees.

 

I even brought in a large tree leather for them to have at.

I felt I exchanged.

[GaryL]

chip you should also have 2 of mine from the frag exchange also.

[flowerseller]

Yeah, you should see the frag tank. I cranked up the alk to cover them all.

I'm changing water tonight.

#2 and #6 look like scroll coral (type of turbinaria) and #8 is definitely a turbinaria or scroll coral. Different from Pagoda Cup coral with smaller portions. #2 and #6 don't look healthy, they look very pale and should be darker. Looks like they might have bleached a bit. #8 looks pretty healthy, though. You most likely won't see polyps on the last one but you'll see the yellow where the polyps might extend a tiny bit.

 

If you want to frag those, by the way, just snap it in half. I think that you'll do more damage with the dremel than by simply snapping it in half.

Wow! I got one piece of the finger leather but I didn't see any of those others.

 

Repeat...I would LOVE any pieces that are availble...but it would have to be held until I get back 10/13...

[tygger]

:(

 

I volunteered on Thursday for setup and was planning to attend on Sunday. Unfortunately, I did not make it back in time on Sunday from a business trip so I missed the whole thing...

[seppler]

Rocko--

 

I like #2 #4 #6 #7 and #8

 

If there are pieces of some/any of these, that would be fantastic!!!

OK, so here are some pics of the frags I'm donating to the cause.

 

I couldn' t get a decent pic of the Yumia, so I'm including two shots - one from the "parent" polyps of the ones I'm donatiing, and the 2nd shot is of the ones being donated.

 

Parent:

 

Actually being donated:

 

The parent that the Kenya tree frag will come from. you can also see the blue/purple shrooms in the background:

 

Frogspawn that the frag will come from:

 

Sorry about the quality there, I had too much coffee and couldn't keep my hands steady on some of those.. yea the water is cloudy I just basted the rock.
