Show Your Junk From the MMMC/CR Lansing Swap

[BeakerBob]

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,

I have plenty of GSP (I still like it). Just let me know how much you need

[MyNemesis]

I picked up a few things. It is much harder to get what you would like when you are standing behind a table, but I did manage to get some things.
Alien Eye Chalice

Pink Lemonade chalice:

Tyree Mummy eye

Beaker Bob's Flying Saucer chalice

Forget what this is called, but beautiful colors and pattern. I had to buy it cause I won a $20.00 gift certificate for the vendor.

Candy Apples from Skyhigh

Here's what $20.00 worth of raffle tickets won me:

This is an Aussie Lithophyllon.... Great piece!!

Thank you so much for ID'ing that for me. I know I should write these things down, but I never do, and invariably forget one or two. The picture doesn't do the colors justice. The eyes are a lavender shade unlike anything else in my tank. Thanks very much for donating the gift certificate that I was able to apply toward purchase of this beautiful animal. I guess it is now a "troll" coral. Ha!

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.
