For everyone involved I’ll be in union city tomorrow morning for the board meeting at 11am and can bring these with me for pickup if that’s easier than driving to Oakland. I’ll also be stopping at AC after the meeting but I’m unsure of a tentative time on that.
 
Well over the weeks these frags have healed and grew well. I tried counting polyps today before handing a few of them off and honestly once it’s over 20-30+ polyps it certainly becomes hard to count. But upon receiving please count them up as well and see if your number is close to the one printed on the top of the container.
 
Received my frag today. Top of container said 45 and I counted 47 "polyp tunnels?". Here are my pictures...Good luck everyone!
