Diablo Corals frag swap pickups

[afamousjohnson]

Ya those dont look like the annoyingly friendly flat worms. More like the big nasties - I wouldnt risk it either. But would use the piece for a side study.lol or surgery.haha I deal with some of the small browns in the fuge that only annoy me - would freak if I saw one that big that didnt have a forked tail.

I pulled in
raptors peace favia
mind blowing palies (I should actually say "paly" - because it was a single)...thought that wasn't allowed but it was in a non viewable styrofoam container I had to open to make sure it wasnt a button green polyp like I see mixed up often so I guess its fitting.lol
Hate when containers aren't correct and rules were posted.
unknown chalice
sand dollars without the bonus hitch hiking aptasia.lol

and group #6

on the side I rolled out with some
bubble gum digi
huge red dragon
the coolest acro I have ever seen - rainbowed base with baby blue polyps
and I couldnt help myself..............
had to buy the mother colony of Karls Candlelight from Jess

Had a blast - big thanks to Jess and Diablo corals

Big thanks to the hospitality of crazzzyreefer - it was awesome peeping the tank and the grub rocked.

We had 2 1st time swappers with our crew which is always so fun to watch..They get so excited and all worked up.lol

Nice! My pleasure - bumbed me out I couldn't get a legit agave frag for ya. Wouldve tore um up tryin. That space monster was wicked huh. And the white pe's do not get the credit they deserve. The reactions I have gotten from all that picked one up after it had opened in their tank has been hilarious. Guess I couldve gotten more than 10 a pop.lol Whats a few bucks when made up for with gratitude and smiles....lo

I hope all have been dipping these pieces from the swap as you should have anyways, but we found a case of large flat worms on a piece brought up here also....and they did not look like the nice ones.lol they were the aefw. piece is now in quarintien and we are looking at utilizing the buggers for our upcoming pest identification meeting-so things have a way of working out because I was struggling finding a specimen

isnt that funny......."I had a hard time finding any aefw" thought that was a good thing.lol
