Manoj hooked up an awesome frag of Skittles Acans. I paid for 2 heads.....and got 6!!!
Thanks again for not selling my frag to all those ppl drooling over it.
Also knew I had to hit Cherry Corals as soon as I walked in before the nice stuff was sold -
10 heads(looked like 5, but babies all around the base ) of some awesome rainbow Acan's from Todd at Cherry for $60. Killer deal

Oh, so you're the one who bought the skittles frag from manoj? I was going to look@them but they were already gone. I picked up the pink zippers & darth mauls from him. That was the only thing i ended up buying at the swap. Will take pics when the lights come on.

Yep I got them...It was a pre-order. They are some smokin Acans....not sure if they are the same skittles from a few years back, but I'm happy with them.
Other than the 2 Acan frags, I also picked up a Garf Purple Bonsai(don't remember from who)
That was it.

I also picked up a bag of interesting frag plugs from SaltCreeps. Instead of a solid post at the bottom, they are a spongy foam that will easily compress when superglue is added to adhere to the liverock underwater. These seem to be working great for zoas....the jury is still out on larger sps frags due to the weight when they are placed in frag racks. Anyone else get these and try them out??

my two favorite pieces were the spider sponge and the teeny tiny baby plate I got from Moby dicks. Which I mounted to a skwooshy. Also picked up mini colony/ frags of whammin watermelons, and a couple differnt types of blastos for 20 bucks a piece to keep the boss happy. Sorry if the picture quality is'nt the best I have a simple cannon power shot point and shoot. But the plate has the purple body with green tentacles, and he is litterally smaller than a dime, did'nt even know you could get them that small.
ok would post pictures but I have no idea how to transfer from photobucket.
