Thanks for the brittle stars! They’re very unique Tribbitt. I also ended up finding like 20 other similarly sized but banded ones in a King Midas zoa colony. I ended up sitting there for 20 minutes trying to get them all out before I used my dip.

WOW!!! Thanks you @Reefer Madness for helping a brotha out while I was trying to get footage of the swap!

Thank you @boun11 again for the amazing additions to the swap.

How can you steal from the little kid? lol JK! I know a few of us are growing this in the club. We will have more later for the next swap. I need to let my mini-colony grow a little more before fragging again.

Great event everyone!!! Thanks to all for coming out and making this club what it is!!!

I am a little bummed though. Last round I grabbed a green candy cane. When I got home it was obviously a sick coral with it's flesh just falling off. Also no name on the container.

There were more than several that made it past with no name. I also got a coral in one of those specimen cups without a name. Mine was a healthy coral though

Just showed @a.little.hypertonic and she doesn't recognize it unfortunately. She can't say with certainty if it got passed her in the check-in since there were so many. That's a bummer for sure. Sorry if she let that pass :(
Mine was a bonus with no name. Realistically I think there’s just too much coral for a few people to check that they’re healthy and that they’re also following the labeling rules. Especially when everyone’s label is different. I know this topic has come up before but if there was a standard label template/format that we used on every frag container, it’ll be easier for coral checkin to identify something missing. Doesn’t have to be a sticker or label, it could be as simple as following a 3 line format. If one of the lines is missing, it’ll be more noticeable. Something like in this attachment example

What bonus coral had no name? I felt like we were pretty thorough at the bonus table, although some non-Oregon torts made it through somewhere, at some point.

It just says it’s a Coral Exotic Hammer. But no name of who it came from or what type of hammer besides the vendor name

Btw.. I’m not complaining lol. It’s an insanely nice hammer and healthy

Unless that hammer came from Tin? And he just didn’t label the kind of hammer?

That might be tin. He was picking coral.so he had to enter with 3 corals also.
