The Frag Swap at East Coast Aquatics

We had a good time and I scored some great frags cheap. I got a rainbow monti, a 3" piece of what looks like garf bonsi, and a bright purplish blue millie for $10 a piece. From the swap tank I got a nice frag of purple digita, and a blue tipped stag. I got lucky and picked #2 and nobody got #1 so I had first pick YahoO.

I also won a beautiful lime green neonish acro in the raffle. I am not to sure how well this piece is doing, and I think the time it spent out in the sun in a small container may have stressed it. I need to post up some photos, but I am feeling a little lazy tonight after standing around in the hot sun all day yesterday.

i got a beautiful red shroom, about 3 of them, a niice green/brown paly, a chalice frag, one like ellen’s, favia frag, encrusting monti, and a frogspawn.
bought a white sleeper goby who is tearing up my sand, sifting every bit through his gills.
was worth it being in the sun for hours. a great store, easy to find, but no clams. some fish [copper banded b’flies had some spot/fin issues.

The frag that I won in the raffle RTN’d overnight. I really think it was a bad idea to have those frags sitting in small containers out in the sun.

sorry, e, a shame!
what’s the abbreviation mean? RTN’d overnight.

12

Rapid Tissue Necrosis…pretty much means the coral bleached out rapidly.

Sorry for the loss Ellen. That was a neat looking acro

13

All the frags i got in the swap seem to be ok so far. showing some color and polyps.

nine are all still going well, no deaths yet.

All of the frags that I got in the swap from the big tank are doing great as well as the ones I bought from the smaller tank. The only loss was the raffle frag. That was a nice looking coral it is too bad it died :-("

“All of the frags that I got in the swap from the big tank are doing great as well as the ones I bought from the smaller tank. The only loss was the raffle frag.” well other people from the club won raffle frags, right, how’re they doing? i won nothing, so all mine came from the tanks, not the cups.
