I picked up three SPS frags from fishdoc (Myagars's hulk, M. hispida, and ROAB's torq and blue aculeus), (2)-abratonoides 'frags'-red and green, and three other SPS from Dr. Mac (blueberry acro, one that is yellow with greenish highlights and bright purple polyps, and one that is a pale blue), dendronephthea sp (orange)-never tried one, so I figured I'd give it a shot, Aqua man monti (I think it's really nice), a Cephastrea frag from Donny-really nice colors, and zoa frags from Rev and JWJTIDE (AOG's, Rainbows, white speckled pinks, and some LOTR's), and a couple more fang blennies from Matt (one for a friend). I just got the zoa frags in, and am working on the fishdoc frags now (floated overnight).

Sorry to Donny for not making it by the store last night. We didn't get out until around 5:30-5:45 and Jenn was ready to come home at that point (3.5 hours home). I will make it by the store, though:). I enjoyed talking to Donny and the 5th Days Creation crew. I've been next to LFS' at the last two swaps and have had some great conversation (and adding in on the harassament of their crew:)). I would have loved to come by and see the momma to the Cephastrea frag.

I got lots of fabulous things and whenever we have a meeting at my house, you all can help me identify it and I'll try to write it down and remember. I bought a lot of pretty things. I just love the big worm frag that I got from gflat. It's great and entertaining too!!! I need to go and glue things down a bit....

I ended up with a nice frogspawn, AOG's and radioactive dragon eye's, and about 10 polyp sun coral. Still trying to figure out how I'm gonna try and feed that one but here's to some research!

GotSalt · Aug 17, 2008

Sleeper if your trying to find a way to feed the sun coral this what I did. I cut the top off a 2L coke bottle about 3 inches for the top and then placed over the sun coral and feed through the top opening with a tear dropper. This kept my cleaner shrimp from taking the food. Depending on the size of your sun coral a juice bottle might be better since its not as big as a coke bottle.

LorenK · Aug 17, 2008

I got:
- 3 fang blennies and one clown from Sustainable Aquatics
- Green Acan
- Rainbow palys
- 3 big Croceas
- Tabling acro
- Leng Sy frag
- AoG polyps
- Purple/Green tipped Frogspawn (I've never seen this before, can't wait for it to grow out)
- Deepwater Acro frag for bringing some stuff back for a local reefer.

sleeper · Aug 17, 2008

Thanks GotSalt. I've devised a very small tupperware about as big around as a coke can and drilled a hole in the bottom for my turkey baster. I will let you guys know how it goes.

gflat65 · Aug 17, 2008

Sue,

I forgot you got the snake polyps. It is a type of zoanthid-Isaurus tuberculata, I think. I hope it holds the green and pink tips for you. They are uninteresting to most, but I find them interesting because they are not seen much and are different. I've had that frag for probably close to a year now.

scouncil · Aug 18, 2008

I think they are cool. I can't believe no one bought it in a year!!! My children haven't named it yet. They name a lot of unusual things in the tank. I've got a big leather that isn't quite a devil's hand, but is large flat and has several fingers in a couple of rows sticking up and my daughter calls it the alien baby. I put the snake coral near the bottom of my tank (not a lot of light) where things go before I decide where to put them. Guess I need to move it up some....right? Medium light? I have metal halides, but they are only 150s (3 bulbs) and the tank is 30 inches deep.

And I forgot I got a giant green neptia from Bryan, a nice mushroom rock from Tommy and a nice Yuma from Brandon and Patrick. I got some small inexpensive frags of SPS from the fellow sort of across from the restrooms. I guess we'll see how they do.... and I broke down and got the pink mushroom. I couldn't stand it.....had to have it.

scouncil · Aug 18, 2008

Oh, and sleeper, I feed my sun coral brine while the fish population is eating and it seems to do ok. The fish and shrimp will steal some, but not all. I like the bottle idea, but my coral is sitting in an area that the bottle would be too open in the back to do much good.

Oh, and I got some more Duncans. These are greenish yellow for part of them and brownish green for the other part. Strange.

gflat65 · Aug 18, 2008

Sue,

I had the snake polyps about 8" below the surface under T5's (6 bulb Tek setup, so it is a lot of light). The ones I have that get lower light stand up more, but don't have the same color. I hope it'll holds the color for you. Most snake polyps are just brown... The pink and green add a bit:).

scouncil · Aug 18, 2008

I'll move it up..... The pink and green is nice!!

well i picked up a presicion marine AP bullet 2 skimmer and only one frag a pink with white polyp millie and so far all the polyps but the ones on the very tips of the frag have been open and i saw the ones on the tips today while i was feeding. so so far so goo under the PC's ( played less than 5 inch from surface) hope hes a fighter at least for a month or so till i get the halides and t5 combo i play to make into a hanging canapoy for the tank. and i can already see the difference with the skimmer hooked up lol( glad no wires were in the way of my hole saw when i was drilling through the walls if any ones ever had to do anything similiar they no the feeling of drilling through a wall or floor that could have hot wires running through lol but all worked out fine i ended up drill 3 inch below the main wire and 2 inch above lol
