At every swap there are at least a handful of frags that don’t make it to the swap table. The person who brought the frag is typically given credit for the frag (other than that one case in the open swap that @DaddyHook mentioned where all 3 frags presented just didn’t meet the mark and we knew...

Have these exospheres and Jedi Mink tricks growing out, hopefully I have fraggable polyps by the swap. Also picked up these 2 CB rainbow crush chalices. If I have luck with these as I had with my space invaders, I’ll have dinner plate size colonies in a couple years. Hopefully they are...

Have a couple of exo frags I’m also growing out. Hope they grow decently well so I can bring at least a couple frags of those to the next swap. What’s the cc 21 tails looks like?

Thought it would be neat to see what corals people may have or have recently acquired that they intend to grow out with the hope of bringing frags of to the next (or a future) frag swap. So, are you growing anything out for the next frag swap? If so, please share pics!

Don’t know about the first pic, but second definitely look like pandoras. Extremely fast growers

Congrats! I’d love to grab the reef putty if available. We should all pool money and have you buy lotto tickets weekly lol

Sure, shoot me the link and I’ll try to jump on for whatever is left

Is the meeting link not publically posted and shared separately via DM because of a fear that unwelcomeds will crash the meeting?

Fair enough haha

Shouldn’t it be treated equally? If my spouse gifted me a complete 250 gallon setup with all the bells and whistles on January 1st, vs if I got gifted a heater? If we are saying the gifted heater adds $0 to the budget, why should a gift of greater value add any more?

I think a focus on increasing overall engagement on the forum is important. I feel like engagement peaks in the weeks leading up to frag swaps and then wanes until the next one. The engagement between swaps is often concentrated in the BST or PIF forums or among a smaller group of more active...

Have both in my tank. Maxima and bumblebees. No issues. I’ve had bumblebees in all my tanks. Keep them as a precaution. Never had vermetids unless they came in on a frag but I’m pretty quick at dealing with them manually.

Have always kept a few bumble bees in my nanos. Never had that issue, or at least not that I’ve seen. But I feed heav-ish.

Pull each rock, wear gloves and be careful to avoid cuts. Vermatids can be sharp and cuts + exposure to saltwater and bacteria can lead to infection for some. Use a scalpel and make sure you get each one off from the base. Don’t just snip the portion extending vertically. Once you’re done, rinse...

Thought I was looking at mostly skeleton, but if it’s just a bleached appearance but the tissues still there makes sense. My bad. Should be a nice piece if someone can help it recover

At all? I see a few sprinkles of life at best. Are you seeing a moderately healthy colony here? If so, man I really need to go to the optometrist

Maybe it’s the pic, but that thing looks pretty dead

Zoas can be like that sometimes. These were in fairly rough shape when I got them. On top of that you just fragged then again. Give them time. The ones I still have now all seem to be fully settled so from the last I fragged them to now, it’s been about 3 weeks. As for PAR, last I measured...

Bumping this up! Have a few more to move. They are doing much better now than when I got them in and fragged them!

Welcome! Beautiful tank! I am not too far, in WC!
