What type of swap is it going to be?

Hey guys...anyone got a feeling for it yet?

Sps swap or zoanthid swap?

You guys who have been to several of these will know what I mean.

Everyone buying up more sps or more zoanthids?

Inquiring minds want to know!!
 
Softies/zoas/LPS always move better, but I knowing there are some repeat people coming from other clubs, I think there'll be some interest in SPS. I'm bringing quite a few (more because I'm fragging a few things before the move-only a few things, though, as I can't make myself give em up...). I'm bringing a wide variety, though (zoas, softies, a few LPS, SPS)...
 
well of the pics of my tank I posted for preselling.

Almost all were about Encrusting Montis, and Zoanthids.... only a few on the Acros.

Hmmm...so not too much interest in sps for this one?

Too bad. I've got a couple of super awesome montis that I was thinking about fragging plus I can always frag that acro that's really really purple (I can't believe how much purplier it's turning every day).

Gary was there any interest in your sinularia?

Here's a list of things I have:
1) greenish brown plating montipora with a bright purple rim (yah! I'm so glad the purple has finally come out in it).
2) pink Pocillopora with greenish polyps.
3) purplish/brownish acro with bright green polyps
4) carnation pink zoas with green mouths
5) giant green sheen spaghetti leather
6) purple acro with even purplier tips
7) this sorta tricolor looking acro
8) yellow polyps (take some of these please!)
9) almost safecracker looking zoas
10) maroon and pink zoas
11) eagle eye zoas
12) evilmel's green skirt zoas (does anyone NOT have these by now?)
13) brownish zoas with bright gold/yellow stars in the center
14) neon purple montipora (deep deep almost bluish purple)
15) another similar montipora that's blue bodied at the base, more orange bodied at the top, and has green polyps and orange polyps (not sure what you'd call this)
These two montis aren't plating, nor branching, kinda encrusting that forms a mound kinda. hah hah
16) super bright Acropora valida...ultra purple tips
17) I could probably get a frag of green galaxia (bright bright green polyps)

My computer's hard drive died but I can take some pictures tonight and try to put them up.

I got some interest, but no where near as much as I did on my zoanthids....

I presold 30 frags.. all but 7 were zoas/palys, but maybe people just think my SPS are ugly :(

You got any pics of the acros you're refering to, because i'll be looking for SPS, but figure i'll be one of the few. Just my opinion.

17. Green galaxia looks like this...but this wouldn't be the frag you'd get (because I sold that one a long time ago)

Oh and Brandon...I'll try to get some other pictures tonight.

I think you've got most of my sps except for these montis.
 
mel, shoot me a pm on if youre bringing the a. valida for sure and how much for a frag. its one of the must haves for me this year :) tia!<~~~steve

p.s- you got the two spotted mandarins from me when i had to sell out in memphis, how are they doin? :)
 
I've got a frag of the ORA German Green and Blue Acro... lol But its still a frag and you're going to have to wait Brandon... ;)
 
Very nice frags, I must admit... why I already got a piece of #6 and 16 from you.

You selling a frag of the orange and green zoas in the bottom left corner of pic 10?

Brandon
 
Mel,

I had one person want a nepthea, but I've got several more, too. I've only had about five people contact me about presales and they have been mostly for SPS, but we're talking less than 10 frags, so I'm not sure how good a sampling it is...
 
3) purplish/brownish acro with bright green polyps
4) carnation pink zoas with green mouths
8) yellow polyps (take some of these please!)
9) almost safecracker looking zoas
10) maroon and pink zoas
11) eagle eye zoas
12) evilmel's green skirt zoas (does anyone NOT have these by now?)

14) neon purple montipora (deep deep almost bluish purple)(LOTS OF THESE)

[/B]

Mel, I'll be at the swap Sat... Let me know how much I owe you and I'll send the money now and pick them up Sat
 
I'm definately wanting sps. I may buy a couple of non sps but that is mostly what I want. I may be interested in the montis if the price is right.

for some reason that made me think of the movie happy gilmore when adam sandler punches bob barker in the face and says the "Price is wrong B(*$&"...

Ok sorry to get off topic that just made me chuckle.
 
Well good lord..

Turbo...they are very shy...bigtime...but my husband sees them each morning when he eats breakfast. They seem to be doing really really well. I still love those little guys!!

Ok so...I am going to try to get all these frags. I'll have to confirm them for you guys tomorrow...I just need to make sure they all look good before I agree to sell them, ya know? The lights are out and all.

Also...I feel sorta bad about preselling since I totally said I hadn't sold anything yet.

Mel, On the neon purple, what color are the polyps. Do they fluoresce? I think I'd be interested in a frag of that as well as a frag of your funky green eggs and ham monti (at least that is what your description makes me think of).
 
Hmmm...fluoresce? I'm not sure.

This is the second purple montipora that I've had and this one is far stronger purple and it has not only held its color, it has gotten even more purple and grown a lot! I'm going to post a picture but it's a horrible one. It kinda has a very blue sheen on the base (even though it's purple...it's just a deep blueish purple on the base and really dark purple polyps).

Sorry about the weird pictures. Brent was fixing my computer and he put irfanview on there instead of ASeedsee (or whatever it's called). I don't know how to use it so that's the best I could do in 5 minutes.

If there's interest in these I need to know by tomorrow around say 4. Some I've already fragged...some I haven't. Sorry but I have not had time to get my frags made.

Anyways here's some pictures...

here's a zoa that I didn't list. It's yellow skirt, orange mouth.

Tubs blues that I didn't list. I'm not fragging these unless someone really wants them badly. They were expensive for me and will be expensive for you too. I included a picture of the colony with a flash so you can see how blue they truly are.
