snipersps Acropora loisetteae. This piece is not in very wide distribution because Hugo did not distribute many frags before his tank crash of about a year ago. You can find a good write-up on these corals here: http://www.salt-city.org/showthread.php?t=7359. Very similar to the ultimate stag exhibiting a turquoise body with green corallites under optimum conditions, pink prostrata in the background

$25 per frag

pink prostrata with blue tips. This originated from Matt Anderson in Virginia and under intense lighting is, IMO, one of the more incredible corals out there. It looks identical to the Paletta Prostrata offered by fragfarmer. bkv1997 has one of the better pics I've seen of this coral, so kudos to him for the photo:

$25 per frag

pink lemonade. My frag originated from Hugo (snipersps) so it is the real deal. I've attached a picture for people who've been hiding in a closet and also to give some idea of what a colony looks like (you usually just see frag pictures, this is only part of the colony)

$45 per frag

Red hot chili pepper / Seasons greetings monti, bad picture actually deeper green than shown
chilipepper-1.jpg

$45 per frag, limited availability

Montipora setosa, no picture but plenty available on line, $50 per frag, limited availability

Palmers blue millepora, straight from Mike's colony in Pleasanton, CA, $35 per frag

Green tabling hyacinthus, bright green with yellowish growing tips, $25 per frag

ORA green stylophora, $15 per frag, sorry, no picture

Green pocillopora, $10 per frag, intense neon green under high-K lighting and an easy grower

Oregon tort, royal blue, $45 per frag, limited as well

My violet Acropora willisae, "fairy ring of mushroom" growth form (tabling like but grows in almost a "bowl" configuration, $25 per frag.

ORA/Cali blue tort, $25/frag

Acropora turaki/awi (I believe the latter), green with blue growing tips, fragile deepwater species does well under moderate lighting, $30 per frag.

Sunset monti, $40 per frag

Atlantis A. rambleri, a hard one to come by, purple tips and very delicate fragile growth form, $50 per frag

Purple with blue polyp A. austera, originally from Tonga, $30/frag. Older picture from Zeo days

Acropora jacqueline, a green body with baby blue tip deepwater tabling acro with a "mossy" appearance, $30/frag

Devil's armor paly, $5/polyp

Purple-hearted emeralds zoas, $7/polyp

Maybe a PPE polyp or two, $15 each

Nuclear greens and purple deaths, $10/polyp

ORA blue millepora, $25/frag

Frag sizes will vary with growth rate and size of my colonies but all will be at least or larger than you would find online.

A few are already well established but most would be fresh-cut on demand and mounted before the swap (I'll be cutting next w/e). Of course, you're more than welcome to stop by and "hand pick" after or before the swap. Thanks for looking.

I need to 1. get more money for this frag swap 2. get more space in the tank for all these frags!

or 3. get another tank. You can buy alot of raffle tickets for the 29biocube. :)

So Dave, I take it that you are definately coming to the swap now??? Do the first person who prebuy frags from you get a bonus?? JK Great list and your corals are always top notch.
 
Thanks for the reminder, Gary. I forgot all about it. I guess I still owe you a pic of the reverse sunset thingy but don't know if I'll get to it in time.

Dave
 
Anybody else, I'll cut them today. I'll probably bring a few extras for the "window shoppers". Thanks.

Dave
 
Tommy, got ya down. Gary, I've added the 3 you requested. Here's a pic of the Jose Casas montipora for you (finally!). It's a little out of focus and growing almost vertically so the true polyp color is near the top:

I cut a few frags of the Hollywood stunner and a single frag of a green/purple w/ yellow eye chalice from snipersps. $20 for the Hollywood stunner, $25 for the other. Just stop by if you're interested as I'm going to try and set up a small tank this time.

Anything Christmasy belongs in my tank! hah hah. I'm seriously eyeing that Seasons Greetings monti. So pretty!

That's a macro and the polyps are quite small. Impressive in person but not as much as the macros make it look IMO.

Hey Dave,

If not too late, can I drop the prostrata and add the RS (and ramblieri and awi/turaki-total $140)?

Consider the prostrata dropped. I should have a few xtras at the swap though. The Casas RS I can bring if I get time to frag it before the swap. Thanks.

Dave, I completely understand you on the macro shot thing.

Art and I took a macro of one of my zoas once that made them look wicked crazy colored. At first when I showed people the picture of them they freaked out. I always posted the non-macro shot after that.

It'd still be neat to have something like that though, even if the red polyps are small.

See...
