    Along with winning the tunze pump, we picked up
    1. superman mushroom+
    2. mountain dew monti
    3. kings ransom zoa
    4. couple pieces of various colored zoas
    5. 6 different acans
    6. Orange litho
    7. Grey and white avelopora
    8. Bubble gum chalice
    9. Monti undata
    10. Blue ice echinata
    11. War coral
    12. Tri color war coral
    13. Purple and green cyaphastrea
    14. Golden favia
    15. pokerstar monti
    16. couple small pieces of chalices

    pictures are not the greatest, i will try to download the few that i have..........everything is still a little angry! We have a QT tank that we have everything in right now, and running the tunze pump and another pump, along with a skimmer. So right now the corals are very unhappy and retracted. Plus the water is a little cloudy

    Didnt want to dip anything yet because figured the corals were stressed out enough. We will let the rest and then do the dipping thing.

    I cant wait to get the pieces in our main tanks and let them grow out!

    i snapped a few pics of our goodies! Like i said everything is a little stressed out right now!

    as most of you know, we have had some bad tragedies with our big tanks, and lost a lot of corals (tank breaking, heater nuke, my predator hand) but we are hoping to have a wide variety of corals grown out that when we set up our big display tank, so we can just plop them in there!

    I love frag swaps, not only do you get to meet other hobbyist, but becaue it is one of the easiest ways to stock up on variety of corals. I love getting little frags and watching them grow out, because there is no way I could ever afford a mother colony of some of these pieces.

    We'll have to take some close up pics when they are are opened up. My favorite frag I picked up has to be the Galactic Inferno LE Lithophyllon. One sees chalices, monti's, cyphastrea, and acros all the time. One rarely sees lithos. When you do occasionally see one, it's going to be green with blue eyes. You never seen a multi-color orange one with blue eyes. (In fact, I didn't even know orange ones existed until Saturday). Limited Edition Galactic Inferno Lithophyllon
