    So here are some frags I got today.

    I have NO idea what the first frag is....looks shriveled and....who knows. This is the one I need an ID on...............

    Then there are some pics of the puple clump of polyps (no idea what they are either) the cute zoas and the favia (it's on an oyster shell).

    I'm sorry for the crappy colors on the pics but I just can't seem to get these camera adjustments right :(


    ONE MORE QUESTION: Can you glue different types of zoas to the same frag plug? I think I've seen it before but wanted to be sure before I did it.

    Hey UI will field the easiest first-Yes you can glue different zoos on a plug/rock etc. I actually scrape mine with a scapel like tool of the plug and glue it to rock/rubble. It looks better when I put it in the tank where you want it.
    The first one I would only guess on since it is not opened at all. It has the skelatal(?) structure like my Blasto Corals-cant really make it out by the photo-someone may be able to.
    Good luck

    +1 on Clove Polyp - if all is well it will extend the living part out beyond the casings you see and looks awesome IMO

    Nice, thanks guys!! I know that without extension the purple polyp blob is just that, LOL. Hopefully I'll know tomorrow.

    Have yours emerged yet? Mine just look like a tangle and almost look like old dried puprle greenbeans or something. I couldn't for the life of me orient them in any discernable way. They're scraggly so I'll just call them scraggleweed for now, LMAO.

    I hope they're something awesome!!

    That purple clump seems to be some sort of purple-brown polyps. Will know more when they open more :D

    More pics to come when I get home :D

    The frags look like they are doing well. Except for maybe one. It is hard to tell. The last one looks just like one I got. Good luck. If any of mine open today I will shoot a picture out on the post I started to ID my frags.

    Make it a great day,
