Cincyreef Frag Swap Results

[JustinFromAL]

Since I posted up here asking for advice on how to transport corals, I figured I'd post up what I scored at the Cincyreef Frag Swap. Everything made it home healthy, thanks again for the advice! Those guys were super nice, I hope my work schedule works out that I'm up there for the next frag swap.

Please forgive my photography, it's horrible.

Here's the "had to buy". It's a Jason Fox Papa Smurf Acro purchased from the man himself.

Here's my second favorite. They're called "Blue Star" Zoas.

My pic is terrible, here is the mother colony they came from.

Here's a Rainbow Anemone, hopefully I can get him to unattach from the container and attach to the rock so I can move him to my DT soon.

ORA Bird of Paradise

Here's the mother colony it came from

Here's a really cool purple rim monti

And here is its mother colony. I wonder how long it will take to get that big....

This is a Montipora Stellatta, really interesting growth pattern

And I scored a little bit of Tyree Sand Dollar Monti

There was also a guy there selling frags to support a charity that his soon was involved with, so I picked up a torch and a ultra green trumpet for good measure.

Can't wait to get these mounted in my DT. Guess I'll need to keep an eye on my dosing for a few weeks considering this basically doubled the coral I have in my DT!

Wow I'm glad it work out great for you! Next time when I go on a road trip I'm bringing more $$$$ so I can buy more good stuff

A trick I learned for getting the nem to let go is to lift it slightly out of the water so that the weight of the nem is slightly pulling on the foot and wait...the nem should let go on its own. Sometimes they are stubborn and take awhile though. Great scores btw.

@Genesis Corals - Thanks for the tip. I was able to message his foot a bit and he dropped right off!

@Chameleon - I'm hoping it does well, it's my first "high end" acro.
