New pieces from the swap . . .

Not happy rainbow monti. I've been wanting this for a while, even more when I saw a pic in the recent issue of CORAL. I'd be happy if mine has half that color!

Ponape birdsnest, also unhappy . Looks much better in person. A nice mint green.

Tubb's blue zoas. Another one I've wanted for a while (like, a year at least!)

Montipora undata with flash. Love this one! I hope I can keep it happy.

Maxi-mini anemone!! I'm super excited about this one!

So it's day 2 since the swap. When can I start moving them into position? The zoas aren't going to be placed far off the bottom so I figure I can do those anytime. What about the SPS?

Great grabs Lisa! With sps I usually give them a week to let them settle and then gradually move them up a bit at a time. I'm sure others have done it quicker though.

Very nice pieces there!! I like the Tubbs Blues! I wish I grabbed some of them.

Thanks guys! I'm thrilled with what I got.

Aah! A week?! OK, I can be patient. Really.

I'm thinking I should just break down and make a small frag rack. . .

very nice.

Why not just use liverock as your "frag rack"?

Hi Lisa I have a couple types of rainbow montipora,they take a wile to color up..They are definitely one of the more finicky monti's out there..

the monti looks better than the acro next to it though

Is that Brent's undata ?? He's got a nice tyree one that I picked up from him that looks like yours..

Ugh, I know! One of the casualties of my neglect last fall. I should cut it up and try to save the branches.

I don't know. I bought it from Randy and he said he bought it from a local guy at a recent swap. I love it.
