Frags from Local Aquarists

[EllieSuz]

Here's one from Gary M.:

And another one from Dreaminmel:

Just thought you two would like to know they're surviving still.

awesome!

awesome!

many many years ago I did a thread that contained top down pix of corals obtained from local reef aquarists. I must say they were among my favorite corals. I still have many of them

 

[EllieSuz]

I have a correction to make. I'm pretty sure the second coral (the hammer) was from AquaDonkey. I got two lovely frags from Mel, but this wasn't one of them.

That is awesome.

I've actually kept a decent track of frags Ive gotten from members here and outside sources.Not sure but I might have gotten a traveler frag of Gary M.'s gorgonian as it made its way around here Ive been told.

Thanks Eileen! Good to see that little hammer is flourishing Looks like he's grown too.
May be interesting trivia to know that I got that hammer from Walter (captainsomething....) and ended up having to get rid of him because he developed a bad attitude (stinging) and I didn't have room to give him more space.

I have had the best luck with locally bought/swapped frags. They are always healthy, I can see exactly what I'm getting, they seem to be more hardy (though I have no way to prove that)... not to mention that I get to meet some cool people, frags are usually cheaper, and reduce the impact on natural reefs/wild harvesting

Lizz, it's growing a second head. I put it next to a couple of aptasia when I first got it and it did it's assassination job beautifully. Now it's in a permanent location.

 

[aquadonkey]

Put those stings to good use!

I have a very similar hammer, got one head not much wider than a pencil, it was so small I had trouble placing it. Fast forward 2 years at its at around 15 heads. Great coral, glad I took a chance on the frag I got from another local (not Walter, but easily/likely the from the same colony)

How did the neon green palys turn out? Still going strong?
