Well This was my first frag. I did not cut it but this coral I have seems to drop pods like a tree drops leafs.
This one is for Mr. Craig

Thanks Dave,

What is the scientific name of that softie?

I don't even know the common name.... Pink Kenya tree is what they sold it as.

Capnella or maybe the Dendronephthya:

Craig,
Those are not even close. I know it is a tree coral if that helps.

Craig,
I got a igloo type plastic thermos with a not screw lid. It is about 8"wide and good for hot-cold. only cost me 9 bucks.
I was thinking about using epoxie glue to attach the frag to the bottom and then tape the lid down. My wife should get a box that fits perfectly.
Sould I weight down the bottom of the box so it will not tip over and the driver or handler will know which way is up by the feel of it?

Cool on the $9 bucks. Will ship you a nice frag of my green polyps in the same thermos.

Just print this side up and fragile on the top of the box. Do not tell them it is a live animal as they may give you a hassle.

Can't wait Dave, this is awesome!

The only issue now is getting it to fedex.
I wonder if they will pick up at my house on new years day?

Craig Manoukian · 12-27-2003, 03:12 PM

I would recomend dropping it off at either DHL or FedEx and getting the tracking number immediately. Also get the shipping total so I can reimburse you right away. HTH
