[Up2no6ood]

Lets see some more pics!

[eefan]

I am still new to coral in general. I wasn't going to buy anything at the coral swap this year, but I did end up getting these two pieces from Pacific East Aquaculture.

9053

9054

Not quite sure what they are specifically, but I think one is supposed to be some kind of Cyphastrea and I was told the other was a Montastrea.

I also got my free $15 from Preuss Pets.

9055

BTW, I apologize for the bad cell phone camera shots.

[dputt88]

i ran the trading table, i can home with about 30 new frags, ill take pics of them after my exam tomorrow.

for me the biggest score was selling out. i didnt have to bring any of my own frags home and sold all the egg crate as well.

the biggest coral score was that my GF bought me a acid rain anemone from PacificEastAquaculture for valentines day and didnt tell me, so when i tried to buy one myself at the swap she abruptly stopped me and told me about the surprise. ( she knew that i really really wanted one and she had arranged for them to bring it to the swap for me)

[Dmmz]

When do I get my frag

Mystery wrasse from Chris at Pet Suppliers in Highland. I cant believe how healthy of a specimen this fish is especially after all the travel it had to do on Sunday. As soon as it was out of the bag and into my tank it was zipping around like it owned the place and devoured the food I fed the rest of my fish that night.

Picked this monti up from Andy at The Blue Glow/Reef Paradise.... picture does not do it justice at all!!! This monti is HOT!!! Bright yellow body with intense orange polyps, cant wait for this one to grow out!!!

Dmmz you are so lucky, i always put a bunch of tickets in for the saw and i never win. i just got to use one for the first time to cut up a big rock yesterday, and i gotta say that the saw makes things too easy! i knew it would be convenient but holy cow do those saws cut rock like butter!

very luck indeed!

[msumatt]

Here's a few things that I got. About half were from trades with people. Thanks for the trades everybody! Here's the first thing, a few nice acans I got in a trade. 9075

[msumatt]

That is a great trade

[msumatt]

Got this and more from the blue glow/reef paradise table. Thanks guys! A nice lepto. 9077

[msumatt]

Darn, had one more pic, but keep getting "database error". I'll have to try again tomorrow because I was hoping for some help IDing a favia.

[msumatt]

Oh haha. It said there was an error but then posted it just above. I'll then post the message that should have went with the above pic here: I saved the best for last. The 3 corals in the foreground (magicians on the right, ironman mushrooms to the left, and a favia in the back I got at the swap. The wall hammer, I won in the raffle yay! By the way, if anyone can help me ID the favia, I'd appreciate it. My husband got it because I got too busy at my table and never got the name. I can say I got it at the fish doctors from Wisconsin. It's a sort of pale, yet, neon green with areas of a dark brown/black randomly mixed in. Thanks everyone for the great time I had at the swap. See some or all of you in Ann Arbor soon.

[jimsflies]

@msumatt (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/members/msumatt/) sorry was working the attachment system for a second there. Should be okay for now to upload pics.

[natalialaloca]

I had a specific "shopping list"...zoas, palys and acans. Haven't taken pics of the acans yet.
