Oh I didn’t realize he participated in the swap. That makes sense
@coralexotic do you know what kind of hammer it was?

Broooo... that's from Tin!!!
Haaa haaa
That one was actually from Tin, if it’s the one I’m thinking of. It looked like a hologram hammer to me- really nice- but Tin said it was very similar but not exactly that lineage so he didn’t want to mislead by claiming it. I was looking for it in the swap!

I assume this is referring to the Instagram video, which was great!
Beautiful coral you got there - although I sometimes think your camera skills contribute to these looking even more amazing

Whoever had this should worry about their tank - they grow like weed. But I still like them. I have one cut if you want it.

And QR codes only I believe. First I thought this was innovative, but then it felt cumbersome to pull out the phone.

I didn’t see the QR codes! Kinda cool… but not for a swap where speed is important

Two of the three corals I got had the infamous reefing art (clarified name) plug. If I can have an early birthday wish (only in December though), it would be great if we could not use them anymore. At least these corals were not encrusted so I could remove them easily.

It wasn’t me this time haha I switched to Reefway plugs
“Reefing Art” right? Just wanted to make sure

Yes, correct, as per the post below. Corrected my post to clarify. But there are two types and I am not sure if both are reefing art - one is purple the other one is white. They seem to have all this hard plastic-type feel.
Frag plugs we should all be using for upcoming frag swaps and DBTCs
In light of the post below, I wanted to see which types and brands of frag plugs people are using or highly recommend using. https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/reefing-art-plugs-are-a-different-beast.37012/ I know this company came up several times and this is the one I am primarily using...

That was the feed back I got indirectly quite a some years back when I did that, back when we were doing swaps at Chabot college, although I will say for most zoas I would have to bring out my phone "WTF is an AOI" type of stuff. That said, I did see the naming on the side of the containers for at least one of the QR codes, so I assume others had them too.
I think
Thanks. I think the Reefing Art ones have that brand name helpfully stamped into the top of the plug based on the pics I see on their site, and they sell them in purple and white. So I’ll keep on the lookout for those and throw them away if I come across them.

If there was one change I would make, check the speaker volume before the event. I get you're trying to talk louder than the crowded room all talking, but man that carried over everything to an insane level, and I initially was sitting at the back of the room, I couldn't even imaging if you were at a table in the front, I eventually went outside (and the speakers were perfectly loud out there). And the number of jump scares I felt in the swap area when time was being announced... lets say I was very close to turning the volume down myself.
When I was doing coral check in I saw the ones with the scannable codes, but for the ones I saw they all also had the regular labels with names on the side. In my opinion trying out new approaches is great, as long as the required info is also there in the expected spot and the containers meet the rules.
