I just got in two really nice Montipora and a nice A. valida. Of course, there are some broken tips from the valida, and if they do alright for the next week or so, I'm going to mount them and offer them as frags if anyone is interested. They're anywhere from 1/2" to 3/4", and the smaller ones I'll likely stick two on a plug. They'll be $10-15 each depending on size. See pics below.

Also got these montipora. I'm expecting the polyps on the blue one will red up for me in a week or so, and from what I've read, better growth can be expected on larger colonies. The fire orange monti picture stinks, but it shows the color well. Bought it just to meet my minimum for free shipping. :D

If they're all $10-15, I'd probably take one of each. Hey, aren't I supposed to be getting a clam Fred?

Also, is your tank still spoken for??? Want to give it to someone who will give it lots of love??? Where a big fishy will love her new home???

The Montipora were just for showoff. The orange one is only a frag itself right now, only about an inch. The blue posible superman monti isn't going anywhere until it colors uo (if it does!).

It's just the valida frags that I've got right now. I have other frags too, but no pictures at the moment.

Tank, as of right now, is spoken for, but I'll let you know if that changes.

Sorry Mel, I forgot the clam in my in-out run at the last meeting. I still have it here, and it's bigger too.

I'm also willing to trade frags with people if anyone has anything to post. Mostly looking for SPS right now, Acropora and Montipora.

Actually Fred, I can buy that valida from you and also give you some frags of sps if there's anything of mine that you (still owe you some frags from the swap, remember).

Nice pieces, the last one is a M. Nodosa, nice grower. Likes light and flow.

Fred,

The Montipora is one of F&S certified aquacultured with the 30-day guarantee. Should be nice when it's bigger...

I just got done mounting the valida frags on frag plugs (aragonite, not plastic) and here's what I've got:

(2) small @ $10 ea
(2) sm-med @ $15 ea
(1) med @ $20

I can provide pictures of the actual frags if anyone is interested. Colony is pictured above. Should be ready to go within a couple days. Were already showing PE before I mounted them and they've been in the tank for 4-5 days now and seem good!

I should say I'm also open to trades if anyone has anything I can use.

Do you have any pics Fred? I'll probably take a small, or small/med one.

I'll take some pictures tonight. They slimed pretty good when I mounted them, so it wasn't a good picture time!
