Rare To You Swap - coral suggestions
- Thread starter cwolfus
- Start date
Tom I was running the Giesemann 12.5 off my HQI ballast. I debated with the aquaconnect's, but for the price I went with the pheonix 14k. Lots of par and still a nice tint of blue. Is it the best, no, but it puts me in th eright direction.
I looked into the giesemann 14.5, but turned away.

I hope no one is disappointed in what I bring, I was going to bring a piece of my tort, but then I realized I'm not sure exactly what tort it is, hell Reeffarmers site even says Bennet/Cali/Oregon/Seattle/etc are came from the same place. Steve at NAA had this colony, but he's since lost it to pests (he doesn't like to talk about that 
), so I doubt he remembers what it was. Since I know lineage is important to people I didn't want to give them a coral which looks exactly like the one they might think it is, only to find out it might not be *shrug*
What I'm bringing however I think I nailed it down to an Acropora Tenuis, it has a very bright and brilliant green (I call "nuclear green") where the tips of the coralites are much brighter than the base of the body, very similar to the way Karl's Candlelight has those super bright green tips on the coralites, only difference is the flesh of the skeleton isn't quite as contrasting.. that or the colors are more tightly spaced. Some guy from the Sacramento area traded a piece of Karl's Candlelight for a frag of this, so I figure it's at least "rare"(ish) to one other person
The guy in the center, sorry this is shot through perma-hazed acrylic due to weldon mishap recently. To give an idea of color of green there's a slimer to the right, and the "mystery" tort to the left.
Also I fragged up my 2 pieces of the other coral, Mike's Underroos Favia, and while the piece I'm giving to Pam looks fine, the other piece is so-so... so well see how it looks in a couple weeks time, and if it's still alive by that time then dies on the person who picks it I'll have a replacement guarantee on that piece, just to let my main colony recover from the dremel job I did.

Make sure the underoos are clean before fragging. I hear they can get kind of messy otherwise.
I am thinking of bringing a frag of Paletta lovelli as my 3rd frag
