Featured Lets see the eye candy from the 6/22 swap
- Thread starter MichaelB
- Start date
Tricolor acropora from @mlang
Highly intresting peice. Has the garf bonsai coloration but different growth pattern.
Pipe organ coral from @BlueSallymandr
A totally unique coral. In terms of being very different in a odd yet cool way. The polyps are green.
I also got plenty more but those two while not ultras in there own right they stand out as the most interesting pickups from this swap. (I was able to grab a ultra acro and torches but none stand out in a unique way such as these
Two.)

I will post more exact details in my tank journal. I also wanted to wait a few days until the corals warmed up to my tank parameters but here’s pics of a few because it’s to exciting not too:
Peach hammer I got during a round pick & a slime ball SPS I got in the free for all. Too much green in my tank but the slime ball won me over quick!!
Lastly having a club sponsor coral vendor at the swap was awesome! My sister gifted me this 3 head frogspawn.
Can’t thank the people who put the event together enough!!!

That frogspawn looks sweet

Personal favorite, ever since I got into reefing and I watched the“inappropriate reefer” budget series on YouTube.
Hopefully it will fluff up a bit more. I find most euphyllia coral doesn’t fully adjust to my tank until a week after.

Yes, despite not having any ultra or bonus corals, we were able to get an ULTRA coral (hooray), i.e., a Hellfire Torch from @MichaelB, but we equally love the red goni in the back from @ReyDeFarts.
I am glad I decided at short notice to still come to the swap, a huge FOMO risk if I had not.
Glad you're happy with it. Those have been very hardy. Let me know if you need another one should something happen to it, since I know gonis have been challenging in your DT.
Nice, I was looking at the blue ravens but they didn't last very long.

longer than your torches! Those were gone before the first round for group 4
Yea high end acros seem to go first than torches.longer than your torches! Those were gone before the first round for group 4
Here's the elegance that @a.little.hypertonic won from Kay's Coral @Arvin R
One of the freebies from the university tank breakdown you brought @MichaelB
There were other ones right? I completely spaced.
Currently in the QT tank under an AI Prime
This was tonight and polyps extending.
This was Sun night after a few hours of settling in.

Yes, the others coral type didn't fair as well as the hand full of acros and leathers from the bream down unfortunately.
That elegance wow!!!
Yes it's a extremely fragle acro, main reason I didn't attempt to frag it more. I was afraid it would crumble from too much handling. I'm intrested in seeing if it can gain more colors. They were all taken so maybe someone will have success over time. I think it has some real hidden potential.

I'm terrible at identifying acro species, but it might be an acropora horrida. I used to see horrida at LFSes more often, but not so much anymore.
If anyone has an extra frag they like to share, I'll like a piece.
I can cut you a piece. Getting it into your hands is the hard part.
I was thinking about cutting this into a few frags anyway. Should we start a DBTC for this piece? Does this have potential to be something truly unique? IDK
