White Velvet Zoas
Red Devil People Eater
Jack-o-lantern Leptoseris
Pink Lemonade Acropora

after that I stopped swapping to let other people grab corals. NO MORE ROOM IN MY TANK :( but it seemed like people were still grabbing nice corals.

and I'm kickin myself for not grabbing the Space Invader Pectinia!

Thomas and I got ASD Candy Apple Orange, Oompa Loompas, Sakura Sunrise, Yellow Highlighters, Pink Zippers, Tyree Space Monsters, Molten Lava Lepto, Mystic Sunset Monti, Ponape Birdsnest, and a Gonzo Golden Dragon mushroom. Made out like bandits!

Ahruk - were those PE's from me? If so, enjoy! They've been great growers! :)
 
I had a blast and these are the Frag that I got and wanted to thank for my new corals...

@saltwatersig (Copps Vesuvius Montipora) & (Green Tip Acro)
@island cration? (Jedi Mind Trick Montipora)
@<3-2-reef (War Coral Favia)

A MAJOR SHOUT OUT to @Enderturtle for putting this together and the others BOD, Venders & volunteers that were doing alot of hard work to make this event be so fun and it went very smoothly!!!!!
 
Can't remember everything I got, I got that Sakuri Sunrise one, I think I got a pink zipper, both from Ender, then I got a gold maul and a red halo people eater (although, not sure if this is right, it looked closer to a red devil people eater, I'll double check tomorrow). Then I walked away while the carnage of "free grab" time to throw my tickets into some of the raffle bags, when I came back I saw "random zoas" so I said screw it! I'll grab it, they haven't opened yet so not sure what they are (and to be honest I doubt I would know what they are :D). Also won the candy apple zoas from the raffle, and was a bit more excited than anyone else (even those who won the big prizes) mostly because I don't win very often so I need to be happy when I do win :D
 
Yeah the Sakura one didn't really look all that impressive under the lights of cafeteria,and to be honest I have no idea what it was, but the skirt was a very bright purple/pink color and it caught my eye so I said why the hell not and grabbed that one with my first pick. Seeing it under the LEDs I can actually see how neat it looks.
 
My wife and I are so grateful for what we brought home! We brought home a "mystic" red base/blue polyp Monti, hell fire leptAstraea, huge green Monti cap (still can't believe the size of that thing!), green pocillipora, rainbow Monti, teal with orange center favia, mummy eye chalice, metallic gold leptastrea and purple stylo. Also scored a bird of paradise birds nest from Legendary Corals! Can't wait for tomorrow morning when the tank lights come on, it'll be like Xmas morning!
 
Pretty happy with what I picked up,

The hammer has opened up beautifully, and the "Pink Palys" look like something called "Candy Apple Pink Palys". Once they opened up and I could see them, I was really happy.

The event was wonderfully organized, and seemed really well attended - thanks to @Enderturtle and the BOD for doing such a great job with this! Had a great time, already looking forward to the next one!

Someone actually went home with a big Mini Colony of Flaming Zebra Zoas, was suppose to be a Raffle Prize.

Enjoy them!

Ill have to cut a mini colony and ship it to that girl from Sacramento.
 
Big thanks to @Enderturtle and everyone who made the frag swap happen today. I brought 8 frags from our tank and took 4 home:
It's a logistical challenge to drip acclimate corals who all have different water params, but we got through them all before dinner and had them dipped and in the tank. Thanks guys, looking forward to growing these out.
