Brandon, can you tell me what the colors are on the Barney Monti?
I haven't heard of that one before, but I'm just starting to get into aquiring some of the cooler colored Monti's so I might be interested in that one depending on coloration and price.

bkv1997 · Jan 5, 2008

Royal blue/purple with dark purple polyps.

gflat65 · Jan 5, 2008

It glows

. Mine have turned bright blue for some reason... I'm not complaining.

Brandon, trade me a small PHE frag for the turaki frag? Its about 1.5 inches. Whatever you think is fair is OK with me, even 1 polyp, as mine got overgrown by the EvilMels and went to Don.

Sounds good Dave...

I'll be sure to bring you a frag.

Weetabix7 · Jan 5, 2008

Kay, I want some as long as it's not too expensive since I'll have to pay for it out of what I make at the frag swap.

Here are some of the things I'm bringing. Not too much named, but some decent stuff. I haven't gotten shots of my Aussies, but have quite a few of them as well (2-~15 polyps).

Still working on some decent pics. I can't get the color to work out on most of them... I've got some larger pieces I won't post here, but if interested in large LPS, let me know. I got several things for my wife's tank this summer, but when I finally got it all put together a few weeks ago, it was already full from other things

. Amazing how that happens. A 4-5" Favia, 5-6" Favites, 8-9" Acan echinata (rainbow-esque-mottled with light blue, greens, browns, etc., with some orange in the mouths), and a 7-8" Turbinara peltata.

The price ranges are primarily $15-$25, Some being more, some being less, with most being $20 (dependent on size). Aussie Acans are, of course, more. Most SPS frags are 1.5" or so, except for ORA, which are closer to 1". All ORA will be $20 (aculeus, nana, valida, chips/horrida, german green, etc.). I'll have a 40 breeder full of stuff...

Common zoas

Reddish with neon green center Protopalythoa. vestitus?

Pink and Green Palys

Isaurus tuberculata? (snake polyps). Heads open up to look more like zoas at night.

Leptastrea pruinosa (lavender/brown with green centers)

Wild SM monti

Acro chesterfieldensis?

gflat65 · Jan 6, 2008

Green/yellow soli/efflo

ORA valida

ORA Pink mille

ORA nana (has light blue tips)

ORA aculeus (neon green)

Green polyped mille (picking up a reddish/rose hue)

Purple tipped caroliniana

Lavender tipped, purple polyped acro (sold to me as austera, but I'm not convinced, at all)

Sold to me as A. florida from RM, but not very similar to some A. florida shots I've seen. Light blue/purple tips

gflat65 · Jan 6, 2008

Duncannopsammia axifuga. I'll only have a few of these (loath to cut the colony

).

Actinic shot

A number of Aussie acans. They've been cut for several weeks now, just haven't gotten any pics together. I've got them suspended in the acan tank, so I haven't been able to get any good shots. I may try moving them for photo opps

. I tried to stay small with them (2-6 polyps).

I also have a few blue A. hokesmai, blue tipped stag (formosa?), green digi, green slimer, Pocillopora (pink/green and green), light blue A. gomezi, ORA torquise stag, Neon green Nephthea (I call it a Nephthea, anyway

). I'm working on the gomezi and hoke pics. If anyone wants pics of anything else listed, let me know and I'll see what I can dig up. I've got some other little odds and ends, too (tank cleanup, etc.).

im sorry didnt see when/where the swap is would love to carpool with some one

VanHalen · Jan 7, 2008

when and where is this swap?

gflat65 · Jan 7, 2008

Jan. 19th in Goodlettsville (just up I65 from downtown Nashville). I'll see if I can dig up the poster, etc. There are a ton of thread in RC in the MTRC forum (who's bringing what, etc.). If it's anything like the last two, it should be pretty good (no reason to think it won't be

). We had 250+ the last two years.

fullmonti · Jan 7, 2008

sounds good! i could drive or pitch in on gas

greystreet41 · Jan 10, 2008

hey there,
Here are some group shots of what I'll be bringing to the swap. A few closer up pics towards the end of specific colonies. PM me with any questions. I'm doing a fair number of pre-sells, but will still have plenty to sell at the swap for those that prefer to see things in person. Some of them are very limited in qty. thanks, casey
