I want to spread around some of the captive spawned in 2023/2024 Mille that I have. Since these are the frist captive spawned corals to be distributed in the US, I want the people taking them to be good with Acros/Mille, have established systems, and not all that interested in trying to make any money...I want the corals to live and be spread around.
Frags will be for pick up in Alameda and will be fresh cut. I might have 10 frags or more to share around.

Really, please, only spirit of the swap folks.

Post here (no DM's) if you are interested. Thanks

Got any pictures Rich? I'm sure we can start a DBTC (that you won't have to maintain of course).

I would be intrested in trying one if anyone from southbay drives up to get one.

The wild milli from group buy is still living afterall. Yet I only have 1 other besides that one. All of the other acros or doing well.

Hey Rich
Do you happen to have video of the spawning event?
How long between gamete release and settled polyp formation?

I don't, but I have photos from this year's event. Unfortunately they didn't make it to cornflake stage. I think they settle between a few days to a week.
