    Lol, I'll consider that option Telgar! My neighbors do have a camera and they do owe me a few favors, so Night-Rida's suggestion may be a viable one. I'll ask them tonight.

    I think the pieces are not as bad as they thought. I also found a brittle star, an acro crab, a xenia with 3 heads and a red shroom that may not make it.

    There are a couple of frags of stylophora, with unknown polyp color yet and also several unknown acro pieces.
    I took pictures with my phone, but still can't find the adapter for the phone memory to regular SD so I can plug it in my laptop :(

    This always happens to me, one of Murphy's laws.

    I gotta do some stuff before 7, I'm going to ask my neighbors for their camera and take a few pictures before I leave. I hope they are going to be home.

    My phone is an old construction rated phone and even though it has proven to be indestructible, it doesn't have internet, added that we don't have a plan with internet enabled for our phones... it sucks.

    I'll go see if they're home in 30 minutes. I really want your opinions on whether they'll make it or not. C ya in a bit.

    Sorry for the bad quality pictures. The neighbors have a pretty old camera, but at leas they have one, right? ;)

    PS: The corals in plugs were already in the tank. I super glued the salvaged acros, etc to the big disks. And stuck a piece here and there.

    I hope I do get lucky with them. They would look nice if my aquascape idea turns out when I get more rock. Strawberry shortcake ... would be very nice! :) I think they're mostly of the same species, there's also some sort of plate that was in the bin, just dropped it in there too. Looks brownish, so nothing fancy, I don't think.

    I really hope they come back!! Then you can call me that ;)

    All and all, I think some of them may make it as well. It would be really rewarding if that was the case.
