Donate zoas to Steinhart Aquarium

[Rostato]

I’m sure we can find some frags too. I’ll have to look. Deadline?

 

[sfsuphysics]

I have tons. Does he need anything else? Can BAR get a little plaque that says "Corals Dontated By"?

Or if not a plaque, because that requires a different division to install it Just changing out one of the slides on their "digital displays" that are next to some of the tanks to say something.

We can spell “BAR” with Zoas.

Eons ago, when the Academy was being remodeled and some of the exhibits had a temporary home downtown on Howard St, there was a sign mentioning the BAR contributions to the Academy.

It would be really nice if BAR can be mentioned in some form

Yes I helped them with that...most we could get them to commit was a paper sign at the time. There were pics of the first behind the scenes tour at the temp location. I think they are gone now. Its was part of a SF tank tour day...maybe I still have some shots.

I know I and some others would pay the cost.

The truth is that I know they would be absolutely inundated with not just Zoas, but high end chalices and SPS as well if they'd put up a plaque and give us an easy way to get them stuff. Not only would members love to see our donations there, but it acts as one more place to safely grow and spread rare corals.

I just had a nice call with Lisa, the biologist in charge of this tank. I‘m giving her the link to this thread. She is going to consider the generous responses so far and what the tank needs, and get back to us with more details.

I have a patch of Blue Hornets Zoas on crushed coral rubble that I can donate

 

[merickson45]

Are frags ok or only larger colonies? I have some Scrambled Eggs that I can offer.

 

[jccaclimber]

I have some grandis paly's that I'd be happy to donate on the toxic front. I also have a bunch of these, and a couple other more generic ones:

 

[Natefank]

I have some Rastas and some yellow submarines I can frag up to donate.

 

[Kremis]

Rastas, nirvanas, rainbow hornet, pink zipper, purple hornet, and maybe some more im forgetting. Would need to head home and check out what I still have. What size are they looking for

 

[Chromis]

I can add a clump of sunny D palys to the list. @JVU it would be good to ask what the tank parameters are at Steinhart - alk, temp and N/P levels, just to sanity check it’s a good match to keep the corals in good coloration.

 

[popper]

@JVU I got these

Two types of zoas

I think the third is red hornet. Please help identify the other. Pic 1 and 2 are same. Pick up in San Jose. I’ll be in Millbrae and SF on Sunday 11/22

After a week of fruitful activity, I'd also like to offer up any or all of the following:

Salted agaves
Vamps in drag
Blue/green zoas (not sure of the name)
Fire and Ices
Rainbow hornets
Utter Chaos
Aoi
Sunny D

The Steinhart was extremely meaningful to me growing up and is a big part of why I'm a scientist, so I'm happy to help in any way I can.

 

[max_nano]

Any updates on this? I’m going to be fragging Zoas soon and can make bigger ones for this donation

 

[JVU]

I’ll check in with them again
