Just wanted to check my JF Freak Hair and Splatter Hammer qualify? The freak hair is from TSA, it looks short because the mother colony was losing the fight with a lepastrea.

This is a good question. How much splatter does it need in order to be considered a splatter?

I have one that was sold to me as a splatter but not sure if there’s a splatter percentage or something we’re going off of for bonus

It's definitely a splatter. I have no idea of the expectations of splatter % potential spread.
Prehaps something that specific would come into play for extremely rare and expensive corals that use that as a measurement to give them a unique grade.

Thats something I don't think any typical splatter hammer would be worthy of receiving. For the intended purposes of the frag swap.

I don't imply there aren't graded splatter hammers out there somewhere. yet the prices ranges of those would be crazy $$$$ and not something likely traded for even a ultra ticket.

All that to say to me it's a splatter hammer as identified by the bonus list.

My vote is ultra. Do you plan on bringing a piece?? :0

So much history in that piece. And it's one of the few corals that there's footage of the exact colony it came from, in the wild.

I am not going, but I intend to send it with someone to pick up a few torches or cool looking LPS for me. I have four frags ready. I don't know if anyone else will bring some.

I was going to go but basketball tournament for my son has changed to both days instead of Saturday only

Wow, I'll be on the lookout for a frag. Amazing contribution
 
Are only the listed bounce mushrooms ultras or all bounce shrooms? Mushroom in question would be TSA mardigras bounce

From a quick glance online, I would say 'no' for this swap. We can revisit that discussion for the next swap.

This is also a notice for everyone that, while I should have said this much earlier, the bonus/ultra list is locked effective as of now for tomorrow's swap. In the future (and I'll make note of this, and this is my fault for not doing it sooner), we'll have a 72 hour cutoff before the swap, since I've received about ten messages/requests for whether a coral will qualify in the last three hours. o_O

Really enjoyed seeing everyone at last weekend’s swap.

Below is the list of current changes we are making to the Bonus/Ultra list. These are still subject to change before the next swap.

There are thousands of corals out there which could potentially deserve to be on this list, but our continuing goal is to curate it in a way which promotes exciting and varying selections of corals be brought from one swap to another. Therefore, corals may move on and off the list from one swap to another, and we are going to give as much advanced notice as possible; especially if something is being removed.

Feel free to let us know if you have any specific thoughts.
