LMK when I can come over ..

Oh wait that is for Eileen

You're in line right after Eileen and all the people in this pic:

Just come over on a weekend afternoon. Then you can pick up some lavender candy cane. I don't want to drive all the way to SJ!

Stubbz, thanks for letting me know about the Pocillipora. I have it about 5" from the top of my tank under a 250W HQI. I think that should be enough light? The polyps are really pretty. In fact, my previous description wasn't very good, the polyps are tannish with almost a teal/turquoise green tips, and they are very long. You can hardly see the body it's so hairy!

Mines under 14K 250W DE's too and I would say it's slightly lower in the tank but not much. He's not bleaching.

Lamps are about 9 inches off the water if that makes any odds.

And yeah, he's not as hairy as the Acro Milli I took to the swap but because of the tightness of the structure of the Pocillipora he looks VERY hairy.


On the other subject running through the thread... I kinda like the silly coral names.

No, I meant at the swap, you cracked a joke because I was looking at the corals with a blu...errr..actinic light. It shows me the polyp color in a lack of lighting atmosphere.

I know! I wasn't actually referring to you when I said it!

And running T5s with 6 bulbs I have a good amount of constant actinic coloring then most halide tanks I have seen, so the light I had at the swap actually gives me a pretty good look at what I can expect....well except that orange polyped digi I got looked a lot better under that light, then my actual lights!
Hey I am new, don't pick on me yet!

:lol:

Yeah, and pick up your bulbs from me at the same time!

I agree! I wanted to name corals after nasty sex acts, but decided that an actual name was prolly better on the whole.

That reminds me, I've got a congress-of-a-cow paly for trade....

p.s. Don't use the phrase - better on the whole - in the same sentence with -nasty sex act-. I have a filthy mind and I don't need to see that.

This was my first time joining this swap, the event was very well organized and I was very impressed with the way it was run. Thanks for letting us joining you guys.

I got

tyree birdnest
leng sy cap
brown cap with bllue pollups
yellow birdnest with green pollups
chocolate zoos(all my friends were joking about this, but it turns out beautifull)
some mistery acros with green pollups

I didnt win anything with the raffle but didnt mind contributing to the cause

over all I was very happy.

 

[Twisted]

The only thing I saw on the table and really wanted but couldn't find when my turn came up was the Tyree blue flower thing, it was like a light purple or something with nice blue polyps.
Anyone know where that came from? I would love to find a piece.

 

[raddogz]

Are those the chocolate zoos with the orange centers - I call them the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

If they are - then those are fast growers and as they propogate when they are small they have a faint white ring under actinics.

 

[Kinetic]

Oooh I think I got the ones you're talking about Eileen. They're not a tan brown color, but a dark brown with orange centers, and they're really big compared to most zoos. Kinda long skirts.

I might have found them in an Asst. Zoos pick.

 

[raddogz]

Yeah, that's right.

I used to have a ton of those - brought them to the swaps.

I can't say about everyone else's but mine were from Bryan Kyle - Logical Reef.

Btw, as I said before these are fast growers and are excellent for frag swaps and beginners who want to get into zoas.

I cut my teeth (not literally ) on these zoas and were hooked thereafter.

 

[Kinetic]

I also got one that has the same build, but has a different colored mouth.

I found out these guys like lower flow. They're not as *tightly* packed together as some of the smaller zoos (such as the purple mouth, green center, maroon skirt ones I got) and didn't seem to like my 75x turnover rate at all. =/ I put a small cut of pvc around to block the flow, they're all wide open now. looks really neat =)

 

[cwolfus]

Twisted,

I think the flower petal monti came from Randal. Montis grow like xenia in his tank, so drop him a PM!

[nashorn]

I forgot I also found this one I think it's a rare but wife made me trade it for a nice Keyna tree

Note to self next time leave wife and kids at home.

How about a picture?

 

[Twisted]

Thank you Cwolfus! I actually have to go to Monteray on like the 24th, and back down to the bay area on May 12th to take my daughter to a girl scout thing on the golden gate, so I have a couple oppurtunities to stop through and get stuff if I find something.
The club you guys have down there seems to make everything accesible. Our club up here everyone is so new to the hobby that there are only a couple of well established and stocked tanks, and not much for variety, but a few more frag swaps like the one you guys just did and that may change.

yessir =) Tonight after work I'll post some pictures (which means about 2am, check tomorrow morn =)

 

[cwolfus]

If you're going to be back and forth that much I'm sure a few of us can get some nice corals moving back and forth. Start a new thread when you are heading down! ;-)

 

[Twisted]

Great idea ! Afraid I am new, so other then a couple of medium sized zoa colonies, I don't have much to offer yet. But you never know what I might end up with by that time rolls around.
