MEMBERS ONLY Frag Swap - October 19th in the South Bay (PLEASE RSVP)

[Darkxerox]

Would 1pm be to late?

The first few picking rounds would be over but still lots of coral to be had plus the food, freebies, and raffles! Plus meeting your fellow members in person and talking about reefs.

Plan ahead for 680 traffic in San Ramon. Added 20+ mins for me

 

[Alexander1312]

Heavy traffic to San Jose. I hope we do not start on time…

Over the past month I’ve been fragging things here and there, just a little, “for the frag swap”.

This is ridiculous I didn’t realize i fragged so many. Out of a 20g nano too

Did not get to say goodbye to everyone, I had to rush out as @Kensington Reefer was getting hot waiting in the car.

Special thanks to @IOnceWasLegend and the rest of the BOD and volunteers for putting on another awesome swap!

Always nice to see the homies, and put some new faces to names too.

I didn’t know you were actually there.

Fun swap and great turnout! Great to see everyone. Thanks all for helping.

Don’t forget to dip and carefully inspect your new corals.

DBTC table was a success too, here are the sign up pages. The giver needs to update in barcode for each:

Me and the family made it home safe.
It was nice seeing everyone again and putting more faces to names. We had a great time thank you to everyone that made another successful frag swap happen.

DBTC police - I brought three small colonies of the https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-neon-candy-cane.29712/page-2#post-524824 / Neon Candy Cane with multiple heads today. One I gave to Tim directly, so he did not sign up here, the other one Ayman signed here. Leaves one taken from the table without signing up. I hope there will be a thorough investigation of this incident and that video camera footage of the event today is available.

Was he really in the car?!?!

 

[MarcosD]

Great turnout! Nice seeing everyone and meeting new people! Thank you to the organizers for making this come together and to the sponsors for the awesome prizes!

 

[Turkeysammich]

I’m sorry everyone that gave me generous gifts today. I was so busy that I could not thank you enough. I will do my very best to grow these corals out and share them in the near future. I appreciate you.
@JVU says I must do my homework now and list people on the dbtc. I hate homework. Lol.

You know I did see one on the lps swap table, I wonder if it got put over there?

This is the life of a successful nano tank keeper! Everything becomes a bonsai project.

I have two questions for the coral id smart people here.

First image is a the anemones i already had at the top of rock rbtas. The lower brighter is 1 of 3 I got today. It was pretty much completly unlabeled. The newer one visually seems like a totally different nem. Any idea or best guesses as to what type it is?

The lower picture is left side what was labeled with a bonus sticker as a tequilla sunrise mushroom x2 had no name of who gave it so I'm not sure who to confirm with. Right next to it on the right is a dbtc sunrise i picked up from @JVU at the previous swap.

I've seen many sunrises but never one that look like those ones on the left that were labeled as such. Could they still be sunrises in my noob eyes they look more like green rhodactis like i have in my other tank only a little bit more neon.

Are these a varriant of tequilla sunrises or a totally different coral?

Those anemones may be the same. When certain corals and anemones shrink they are more condensed and look brighter. You notice this especially with corals like torches and acans. This could be what’s happening here.

The mushrooms you got on the left are not tequila sunrise. If it has white bouncing vesicles as it sort of looks like then that’s cool, but they are Green Rhodactis.

All good, i'll compare the nems again when it puffs up more.

Hopefully they do bounce, but I wouldn’t have picked more green rhodactis even during the free for all given a choice lol.

Very fun dayand it was a pleasure catching up with everyone. I will show the photos of new stuff once it's settled in and happy.
