THIS SATURDAY!!!! June 7th fragging workshop. PLEASE RSVP

[psidriven]

Maybe find someone willing to peel/scrape off the zoas or swap rocks. But if you value the rock more than the zoas, maybe do a pest tank with sundial snails, zoa spiders and zoa nudibranchs.

Oh just found out June 7 is salmon fishing day. June 7-8. Unless the weather is really bad I don't think I'm gonna make it.

heres some pictures. The rock with all the green zoas.. I kinda want my rock back. Same with the rock with the red zoas. I put a frag with 3 polys of red on that flat rock.. Next thing i know, it took over the entire rock.

The last pic is orange oxides. And looks like they are on a fairly thin flat rock? We could cut the rock with the band saw if you wanted to frag those. The green ones are probably a palythoa and not a zoa and would recommend not bringing those.

His green zoas are probably king Midas zoas. They yellow up in other tanks but are greenish in his.

I had same Palythoa concern but based on the pictures I can't really see them cleary enough to tell difference with full confidence without a clear close up of one.

But the color of polyps don't look like Captian jerks or green nuke palys. Only what I can kinda tell from picture.

@CoralGardens619 you mentioned some colonies.

 

[CoralGardens619]

Sure, I’ll send a few colonies as I don’t think I can make it to the workshop. Will know more as time approaches but if not can someone close to Fresno meet up w me to bring it with them? If not I can ship it to @Srt4eric? Please LMK? Thanks

 

[andyman]

Oh definitly not palythoa. I had them when I first started and never again. took me a while to get rid of every last one of those.

 

[yosemiteclimber]

I'm down as a big "maybe", would REALLY like to make it but have concert tickets in SF and dinner reservations beforehand...

 

[Arvin R]

I've got a stylo mini colony (about softball size) and that we can frag up if we need more pieces for people to be able to practice using the band saw. I've also got a big dead monti skeleton (not as fun but will give the experience of cutting coral skeleton) I've got 2 band saws here (1 gryphon XL and 1 inland).

 

[Arvin R]

Might have to make the event more "enticing" and throwing down some racks of ribs on the smoker. What do you guys think?

 

[Turkeysammich]

I have more of that Copps cali thing. And a green stag. If I bring them, I don’t want to take them home.

I can hold any extra frags that dont want to be taken home.

Would love to see a picture your copps cali cali ? Mine is finally developing colors

Depending on where you're from, it may be more convenient to head to SF from here (Castro Valley) I don't mind holding any frags for you that you might collect from the fragging workshop and can bring them to the frag swap for pick up.

 

[Turkeysammich]

Let me know if you guys want me to bring them. They aren’t huge but decent size

Pretty positive these are the same as copps calacali. Stagg, green base, purplish tips, yellowish polyps.
