You will not lose out, I pulled a Mr Uglies Red Prostrata out of round 5 in the regular rounds at the lat swap;)

Just bring more regular frags if you want in to the bonus rounds.
Either way you will come home with lots of corals.

Fiji Blue Rhodactis

Fiji Blue Rhodactis

Hey Chris

I've got just about all the acros I can stand. I sure would like to see more EF representation in the other areas.

In any case, how about Fiji Blue Rhodactis...

Yes, it really is that blue!

I purchased this as a pre-sale from Steve Tyree the last time he was here.

Also, here's another picture of the ATL VDMs...

Just think of all the exceptional/LE frags you could leave with though. Just because the bonus rounders go first doesn't mean they get all the good frags. I never make it into the EF rounds either but I always get some sweet frags anyway. :thumbsup:
 
I yeah I think it's going to be an awesome swap Im really looking forward to it I'm sure I'll come away with some nice stuff=)I just wish it was sooner
 
LOL, I know I have some of those exceptional Zoa's, but I've forgotten who's who in the tank (besides the PPE, which never has gotten more than the one polyp I've started with :(). Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between Devils armor and Armor of god? I have valentines day masacre's too.

I am not sure on that one, I personally think they are the same thing.

Either the DA's or the AOG's are acceptable for a EF.

Ok.. I have never been to one of these..
Is a frag on war coral good? How about nuclear favia?

There has been alot of loose naming of the Favites pentagona War Coral a recent flood of similar morphs over the past 6-9 months hasnt helped either and anything that looks similar has been catagorized as a "war coral". Can it be traceable to the original War Coral that spurred from the bay area(I believe by Matt J. from reefready.net; correct me if Im wrong)? If so, then yes, if unsure post a picture and provide as much information on it's history as possible. Nuclear favia? Please post a pic of that as well.

Brian, I agree it would be nice to see more exceptional softies other than paly's and zoas. However I vote Nay on the blue tonga rhodactis and Yay on the Atlantis V.P's.

Liz yumas can be a fast track to the exceptional table and a softy to boot! lets see what you got! :cool:

This might be the last year, IMO AOG's are becoming extremely flooded in terms of collectability ESPECIALLY in this region.
