Purple Deaths and Nuclear greens

[fishdoc11]

Hey Guys,
I ended up fragging up a couple of colonies I have when I was making frags today to get rid of. These frags (the nuclear greens and purple deaths) do have bryopsis in them. I have cleaned them out but they will need a little TLC to pick it out every couple of weeks to get rid of it. I have several different sizes and I will post #'s when they open back up. They are $3 a polyp for those that want to pick them up at the meeting or sometime this week. I will only have the sizes I post available but there is a pretty good range......say 3 to 10 or so.
I also ended up getting on extra small frag of the LE Purple monster when I was fragging. I'll let that go for $50 to a club member that wants it.
3 nice Greg Hiller Aqua Delights are also available for $25.
These are just available to those at the meeting or that pick them up this week. I'll be taking the rest to the Coral Reef after the meeting. I also have several very large frags of my Montipora confusa/spongiodes left over for $15. Smaller ones (still over 1 1/2" to 2") are $7.
Once again these are only for locals this week.
So for a recap for those that don't want to read the paragraph

Nuclear greens $3 a polyp
Purple deaths $3 a polyp
LE Purple Monster $50
3 Greg Hiller Aqua Delights $25 ea
Montipora spongiodes/confusa $15 or $7
thanks, Chris

Chris,

I'll take 3-5 polyps of each of the purples and nuclears.

See you sat.

lol. i'm still trying to get rid of the bryposis in that frag of nuc. grens I got from you... I should pluck more often....lots of new polyps, but still bryopsis.

I'd like a frag of the purple deaths... not too particular about the # of polyps (3-10). I'm just curious to see what all the hype is. Saturday for me too plz. you live too far away!

Here is a pic of the nuclear greens I have:

Here is a picture of the PD's from another site, not my pic:

Here is a pic of the monti. First pic is washed out and the second is under atinics ( in upper right hand corner). In reality it's somewhere in between as far as color:

So is this how you spend your spring break??? I think I am playing with the tank tomorrow.

 

[fishdoc11]

:lol:

I'm going fishing now

I wish I were playing with my tanks or fishing...

Only caught 3 yesterday with the nicest (relatively speaking) being a big crappie on a bass jig of all things
It was nice just to get out though and I figured out exactly where the bald eagles nest I saw the fledglings flying out of last year is I could tell because it's in a pine tree and was easy to spot among all the hardwoods with no leaves. One of the adults was hanging around and it was gourgeous. Saw a bunch of ospreys as usual too so it was nice just to get out and watch mother nature

Chris, please let me know the damage so I can bring the right amount of $.

The weather is great and I'm enjoying spring break too... playing outside and playing in the tanks. Now it's time to get down to grading a huge pile of papers and watching basketball. I really needed a break because I just finished my PhD comps (yippee!) - jeez those were a PITA.

 

[fishdoc11]

Well they haven't gone down that much. I was just offering some to the club members that I had extra and had a little bryopsis issue

I know what you mean though. I can't remember what I traded for the 1 polyp I started with but it seemed like a lot at the time.

Chris

 

[Wildman]

Thanks for the frags. I'll let you know how they do and will get with you in the future for some more stuff.

 

[fishdoc11]

Sounds good, Thanks

......and this goes for anybody. If you ever get anything from me that doesn't do well LMK. I ceartainly don't send out anything I know is unhealthy but stuff happens with corals and I understand that

So, it looks like an iodine dip kills bryopsis. 5 drops of lugol's solution in about 2oz water for 2 minutes or so. All the bryopsis is white and getting swept away with the current, and the PDs are back open and looking happy. I'll know in a few weeks if it's really gone for good or if reincarnation is really true.

Just an FYI...you're mileage may vary and the risk is all yours.

I learned this a few weeks ago... I dipped a zoa frag that wasn't looking so hot... there was a bit of red hair algae that came on the frag plug ages ago, and I noticed that it was all gone after the dip.
