There was a lot of nice stuff at the swap this year....some of the best corals I have seen at a swap! Many of us are trying to keep within a budget and, speaking for myself, it was very difficult to do so.

I picked up three corals and a couple inverts that are extremely colorful!

Here is a picture of my Blue Porcelain Crab (I now have 2 of them) from Korndiddy20:

I don't know what these zoas are called, but I got them from Aqua Gardens (correct me if I am wrong) at a great price! I was hesitant in buying these as they were all closed up and did not show any colors, however, I was told that they were very nice and colorful. I trusted the reefer, bought them and this morning, they were out as big and bright as ever. What a find!!

I also scored a beautiful rock anemone from the Tropicorium and followed the instructions on maintaining it. Dig a deep hole in the substrate sand, plunk a rock at the bottom, put the anemone on top, then bury it all under the sand. It's like buried treasure! When it sprouts through the sand, I will take a picture and post.

What did you get at the swap??? Show your stuff!!!

I left a little early, but I got some stuff.

On that topic, my wife asked me if I could get some more green star polyps. Anyone have any growing like weeds?

I'll trade you for pulsing sinularia.

Also tried out the par meter, and directly under the LED reads in the 700's. Just the ambient is in the 300 range.

Tim- Check with Beakerbob. He bought a big chunk for the school tank and maybe we can trade a frag of GSP with you for a frag of pulsing sinularia to put in the school tank.
