The amazing frag

[dvmsn]

I recieved a frag at a reef club meeting on Friday night. When I got home, I put the tupperware container I carried it home in in my pantry and forgot about it. It was in a small craft bag in that container. I remembered it at work today. I found it today, Monday, alive. Three days, unheated, without any gas exchange in the same bag. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it.

You know you're just teasing us by not showing a picture don't you?

Buddy of mine did that w/ a Mushroom coral before (left the frag out at work on a Friday, found it Monday), but I've never heard of it happening w/ an SPS.

I rearranged my rock work about 4 months ago, forgot about a piece of rock that had a ticolor SPS on it, it was outside w/out water overnight, foun it in the morning and put it in my tank, and it is doing just fine.

SPS can be hardier than people give them credit for.

Took some of my live rock with encrusted monti cap polyps on it, along with encrusted digitata polyps on it (left over from when the colonies were removed). Put it in a 30 gallon trash can with tank water and a pump. Heavy dose of Flat Worm Exit to kill a SUPER infestation of flat worms and left it covered for 3 months. Pulled the rock out to setup my new SPS tank and there are no flatworms but the monti cap and digitata polyps survived and are now spreading and rebuilding in my new tank! These guys are tough!!!

sps colonies in the wild are known to out of water for up to 8 hours, IN THE WILD, during tides.

with thst said, I left a frag in my car, in the middle of winter, overnight, found it the next day and acclimated it and it is still alive. I would have to guess that it got close to freezing in the cooler.
