Tricolor acropora from @mlang
Highly intresting peice. Has the garf bonsai coloration but different growth pattern.

Pipe organ coral from @BlueSallymandr
A totally unique coral. In terms of being very different in a odd yet cool way. The polyps are green.

I also got plenty more but those two while not ultras in there own right they stand out as the most interesting pickups from this swap. (I was able to grab a ultra acro and torches but none stand out in a unique way such as these
Two.)
 
I will post more exact details in my tank journal. I also wanted to wait a few days until the corals warmed up to my tank parameters but here’s pics of a few because it’s to exciting not too:

Peach hammer I got during a round pick & a slime ball SPS I got in the free for all. Too much green in my tank but the slime ball won me over quick!!

Lastly having a club sponsor coral vendor at the swap was awesome! My sister gifted me this 3 head frogspawn.

Can’t thank the people who put the event together enough!!!

That frogspawn looks sweet
 
There were a lot of Hellfire torches and GMK zoas

A lot of the ones submitted on the list did make it to the swap, which was pretty cool to see. So many ultras this swap
Yes, despite not having any ultra or bonus corals, we were able to get an ULTRA coral (hooray), i.e., a Hellfire Torch from @MichaelB, but we equally love the red goni in the back from @ReyDeFarts.

I am glad I decided at short notice to still come to the swap, a huge FOMO risk if I had not.

 
Here's the elegance that @a.little.hypertonic won from Kay's Coral @Arvin R

One of the freebies from the university tank breakdown you brought @MichaelB
There were other ones right? I completely spaced.

Currently in the QT tank under an AI Prime
This was tonight and polyps extending.

Yes, the others coral type didn't fair as well as the hand full of acros and leathers from the bream down unfortunately.

That elegance wow!!!
 
That is a crazy unique acro. Wondering if it was weird tank conditions before, or just something new

I got one too

Yes it's a extremely fragle acro, main reason I didn't attempt to frag it more. I was afraid it would crumble from too much handling. I'm intrested in seeing if it can gain more colors. They were all taken so maybe someone will have success over time. I think it has some real hidden potential.
