Alright guys! Here's what ya'll have been waiting for! Did some SPS fragging as some of my mother colonies finally reached the color I was aiming for with them and it's been long enough that I have confidently beaten out AEFW which came in on some of these colonies as I rescued them from a partners tank that got infested.

Once they're fully healed up I will post up a catalog list for you guys.

Sorry for the left turn, but...
Why the term “drop”? There’s no needle lowering onto a vinyl record on a turntable
What happened to “release”?
You are releasing for sale to any and all
Apologies in advance
Just an observation/question from an old fart up on the hill

Especially with limited volume, "special" merchandise, some vendors in various niches do "drops" of stuff.

Edit: Casey found the real origin, from newspaper "drops"

What Is A Product Drop?

For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'What is a product drop?' themselves.

Googled the etymology. It came from the newspaper industry, where delivery trucks would literally drop off bundles of newspapers at news stands. It became a metaphor with the music industry for album drops when a retailer has "dropped" the tape/cd on the shelf. Now any product release can be a drop.

@Arvin R I see a walt Disney. What are the other two.
 
This doesn't seem to be a "drop" because he's not selling anything.Per Casey's definition: it's when a retailer has "dropped" the tape/cd on the shelf [for sale].
It's just click bait.
 
It’s probably more of an SPS preview or SPS teaser or SPS sneak peek at this point since we all came to this thread to purchase some only to learn that the drop has not landed yet.

I would be interested in this one though.

The frags will be for sale once they've healed and we've determined they are ready as stated in the first post. We don't promote click bait. We take a lot of pride in the care and health of our coral. You can ask plenty of people here that have purchased from us.

This is simply a preview post as a lot of people in the club has been asking and waiting for when we will have some of our SPS available.

I've since changed the name of the thread and will change it back once they are actually ready for sale.

Apologize to everyone for any mis leading that may have happened.

The yellow one is POTO Poision Ivy

The middle one I acquired as a lineage named piece but they didn't have paper proof so I don't want to advertise it as such. For now it will just be a very nice acro.

These will be available very soon. We promise!
 
@Arvin R Sorry about the click bait comment. I was only joking around and didn't mean to offend you. I'm looking forward to purchasing from you.

My mom is 80, but I do not make her read these threads. I feel bad for people who do.

But on a serious note, all of these comments were made jokingly out of excitement for what is about to drop - release - be sold and not out of criticism of the post. And we like to go down rabbit holes, which is what this allowed us to do.
