Does anyone remember... frag workshop #1?

[sfsuphysics]

I think this workshop was primarily tongan stuff, and if I recall 90% SPS, of which I'm sure others (as well as myself) did not have the right conditions to keep. Well I can't recall everything that I got, but I do remember this guy, he hasn't grown terribly much although he has quite a few more mouths since he was gotten (think he had one and a half) with more mouths on the way, but he has colored up very nicely, considering the whole colony was brown before it was fragged up. (ignore the algae in the picture ).


Don't know what type this is, so I just call it an Acan Wahoozits

Edited: to reduce size... yeah over a year later

The only thing still alive for me is the clove. The regular color one ;D .. I remember that acan. It colored really nice man .. good job!!

subechinata.

FWIW, the workshop was more like 75-85% Tongan. We got some big colonies from James that weren't Tongan stuff.

I prefer my name better Figured it was a subech though, just wasn't absolutely sure I got another colony of similar ones that are all mottled colored, just need to manuver it into a happy place where it can spread out.

Call it what ever you like, a truck, Julie, airplane, what ever

I can't remember if it was #1 or #2 workshop, but I remember at one we fragged up a heliofunghia. It was so brutal that I chose two frags of it. One is sorta the same size, but with tentacles, the second one is fully inflated and pretty big (palm sized!) I am still amazed at how it came back from looking like a broken beach souvenir into a long tentacled healthy specimen. I'll take a pic one day. I wish I had pics of it as a busted skeleton.

Yeah, that one didn't make it for me. The echino did make it, and has colored up as a turquoise blue with pink mouths.

Update on the above acan, she definitely has turned into a stunner (btw no actinics on this tank)

Color up like a rainbow. Very nice, Mike.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Hehe, Rainbow Acan.. shhh that'll make it sound too snobby

 

[Gomer]

Might as well give it a proper physics name!

Chromatic Dispersion Acan

I will say that picture is a top down shot through my ghetto fabulous shooting device (which might be mentioned in Sanjay's next article!). Colors tend to get a different appearance from the top down as opposed to the side.
