Got some new goodies:):)

[gflat65]

Been wanting them for a while (well, the hawkins since the swap, but the others for at least a few weeks longer). Didn't have to pay the $100 a piece that the LFS was charging, but still emptied my mad money.

This is just after dip, so they are still a bit ticked...

ORA Roscoes (tenius) Pretty stressed...

ORA Phil's Granulosa (most likely suharsonoi)

ORA Hawkins Echinata (not sure if it's actually echinata, but not a biggie). Still a bit ticked.

ORA Dustin's Deepwater

ORA Marshall Island Green Fuzzy

And another shot of the Pink Lemonade. I had just noticed the bright neon green spot (the overexposed part near the center). It was on the back side of the frag, but started screaming at me.

Nice Gary! Where did you pick up all the ORA? Nice score with the hawkins!

Good Score Gary, looking good

I've got a friend with connections. He got a few 'for himself' from his place of employ. He knows he'll be first on the list for frags, so I get his discount.

great looking frags


are those tire value stems ?

 

[rcmike]

I was wondering what those were they were mounted on too. It looks like they say ORA on them so they must be having something custom made now.

Gary:

Looking good, looks like you're really into the high-end stuff now! Those PL I fragged really didn't do well traveling to the frag swap. I was pretty bummed when their color faded a bit, but glad to see it coloring back up for you. You're not alone; I recently got or am getting:
Tyree red watermelon chalice
Palmer's blue mille
One of the nicest rainbow montis I've ever seen
Atlantis echinata
Acropora rambleri
Chili pepper montipora
When ours grow out, we'll have to do a trade or something!

I did a google on the hawkins when I got mine and it looks like quite a few went out to stores. Mine is starting to encrust down the side of the frag plug. can they be removed from the plug and glued to a rock or should I just let it be till I can frag it and move those pieces to a rock?

 

[gflat65]

That's ORA's new plug. Thick as hell and solid plastic. I think the only way you're getting one out is to cut it off level with the plug (and likely end up with several pieces).

Dave-I can help myself these days. As long as I can recycle money for more corals, it all works out. The PL is looking awesome. I usually have everything brown out alittle on me from dips, etc. It didn't lose too much color. It's putting on more hues every day. I'd love to trade. You've got tons of stuff I want. I'd have gotten more from you at the swap, but I quickly (almost) overextended myself. I ended up making exactly what I pre bought at the swap when all was said and done. Been eyeing Atlantis Aquarium alot lately... Gotta be somewhat choosy, though.
