Fatman, what lights are those montis under? If they're placed under brighter/different color lights, they may change their colors?
Does anyone think it worth while for me to bring my LifeReef Skimmer to the swap? I should just to put it out there since I've gotten a new one, but I don't know where/how I would advertise it... ::shrug::

Here's an update of what I'll be bringing. Here's my little land-o-frags. They haven't had long enough to encrust, but all of the frags are healthy with full polyp extension.
As far as acros, there's one unknown purple, 4 blue tenuis, 2 bright yellow/green tenuis, and 5 green tenuis frags. Also, 1 orange montipora spongodes, and at least 6 orange monti cap frags
A different angle, without the glass distortion
Several of the parent colonies are visible in this pic
I'll also be bringing
2-3 frags of pink pulsing xenia
A few frags of these pink plague zoas (great for beginners, you can't kill 'em)
And 1-2 frags of these light green zoas
If Christy is willing to let me steal a few, I might bring a frag of these bright orange zoas
If I can pull anything else together, I'll post more pics tomorrow.
I never did frag either of my leathers. The yellow fiji has been extremely temperamental lately, and it looks like something has been taking chunks out of it at night. Fragging didn't seem like such a good idea.
I also decided not to frag my birdsnest this time. It took a tumble in the rocks a couple of weeks ago, and lost some of its color before I rescued it. I want to give it a chance to recover fully, and I'll bring frags next time.

Hey Jeff,
If those orange monti caps will be ok under VHO lighting I'd be interested in a frag.
I haven't tried any SPS yet because I don't have MH, but I'd like to start off with something like that monti cap.
Anyone know what, if any, SPS will thrive under VHOs?

There are a lot of SPS that do fine under VHO. VHO was the way to go for a long time before MH was popular. I know that Marc L. (melevsreef.com) kept a big acro colony in his 29 or 55 with VHOs only.
Monti Caps and Monti Digis usually do very well under VHO lighting. How much VHO are you running? I've had people buy brown monti cap from me and have it turn bright green under their VHOs.
Good luck!

3 x 160w 72" T-12 VHO (1 actinic, 2 10k) = 480 total watts
Not much compared to a typical SPS MH setup..., but if I know it's not going to be a slow and painful death sentence for the monti cap I'll give it the old college try and let you know how it goes.
