Rare Corals for August 11th Swap

[rleechb]

So, I was looking through my tank today, and I noticed that a few of my "designer" corals could be fragged. I got to thinking that it'd be a good idea to start a little thread on "designer" coral donations for the swap. So look around your tank; if you've got something nice you could make a little frag of, and bring to the swap, then post what you're bringing. So, I'll kick things off, and hopefully if you're reading this, you'll feel guilty enough to make a small frag of one of those big designer colonies you have. Hopefully this will become a nice long thread, displaying how generous us BAR members are ;)

P.S. If you don't have anything rare, then don't feel bad. Maybe you'll score something nice at the swap, grow it out, and frag for the next swap =D


1. rleechb - Palmer's blue millepora

[bookfish]

Pulsing sinularia.

[tuberider]

Actually there is a thread (a very short one at this point) on th bar website. I think because of the members only status of the swap that people are going to want to flex.

I'll be bringing a frag of Miami Vice teal acro amongst other things.

[sfsuphysics]

I don't honestly know what's "rare" or a "designer" coral any more, so I can't say what I'm bringing.

I'll definitely bring a piece of Mike's Nuclear Physics Experiment Gone Awry Acropora... (or whatever Norman called it :D) and if I get around to it I might even toss in a piece of my Quad Colored Acropora (where brown is not one of the colors! :D)

[Mr. Ugly]

In addition to regular stuff, I think I'll bring a teeny frag of Montipora setosa, and some Tyree toadstool.

[brianbigoats]

if i come i will bring
2-3 ponape Toarch frags
ponape birdsnest
maybe a tubs Horrida

[bookfish]

I'll also bring some of the Vietnamese zoas and maybe a blue caulastrea. Still thinking on that one...

[sfsuphysics]

Toss in a few green polyped finger leather frags from me... not sure if they're rare, but if the green polyped toadstool is... :D

[xinumaster]

I'll bring a PD.

[northbay-reefer]

I'll bring a large bucket :lol: j/k

One of these day I am going to have some rare stuff to give back

[Thales]

I bringing some bombs...I'll post about a them on the BAR site.

[Keith Le]

I'm bring two stalks of blue Cespitularia (blue xenia). I believe this is selling for around $80+ a stalk. Does this meet "rare or desinger" specs?
I'm also bring a couple of "watermelon" Ricordia Yuma, a couple of heads of "chernobyl" trumpet and some SUPER DUPER RARE ATHELIA and WOW THATS RARE ENCRUSTING GORGONAIN!

Please check the BAR forum thread.
Thank You-Jim

Can non bar members attend this swap? I don't have anything to swap since I'm new, but I'm interested in purchasing some frags.

Also, where is thing going to be held?

[bookfish]

Hi, I'm afraid this is a BAR only event but we will be back to open meetings in October and throughout the rest of the year. Thx-Jim

[sfsuphysics]

And just a FYI, future swap events even "open" swap events you still need to be a member of a particular club to participate.

[Kinetic]

No rare things here, but probably some nice looking pieces you don't have and might want!

Some yumas, lots of really cool zoos, pieces of idaho grape (well encrusted for months), birdsnests (various ones, including tyree ponape), and some fun yellow polyps ;)

[jkreefer]

Your yumas are nice Art, i saw the ones Tom (Northbayreefer) got at the last meeting and they are sweet!!!

[kurplunk]

I was planning on bringing some superman and rainbow monti danaes, but are those even considered rare anymore?

No worries Jim.......rules understood. I think we are just trying to get eachother to salivate at the chops.

[Mr. Ugly]

A little spontaneous encouragement from everybody to bring a variety of nice frags. Good to see the generosity :)

Kurplunk, I think the Superman and Rainbow will be very welcome!

Yeap, generousity.... is the key to this club

[GrumpySpot]

I'll be bringing a green acro frag that I got at the last meeting. I don't know what it is, but I traded a Luminarc for it (and some magic beans...), so it must be special.

Norm, I think you gave this to me. Do you remember what it is?

[FunGuy]

I only have zoanthids, but I'll be bringing PHEs, pink stardust zoanthids, some pink palys and a few other frags of zoas/palys.

[Mr. Ugly]

Hi David,

I don't recall specifically what type of acro that was, but it was from among the raffle donations from Mingwei at Atlantis. He just started grabbing all kinds of stuff from his tanks saying, "This one is really nice. That's the so and so LE. I'll get you some of these. They're really good. Here, help me bag them up." There was so much stuff that I couldn't keep track :)

I think Pavlov would have been proud... As I read your posts, I have all I can do to hold back the drool...

Really wish I could be there. :(
