New Frags!
Hi All! I received these two frags from Stoneyreef(Patrick) and they are really nice! First is a monti frag and the second is an orange cap. First pic is a little blurred. Pic taking is really not my speciality. Probably got the names wrong!

Hey Johnney,
Is the orange cap mounted? If not you might want to wedge it in a crack and use a little epoxy stick to hold it in place. Snails can knock it over real easy. Make sure you give it lots of room because they grow pretty big real quick!

Thanks ReefDave and RWD for the compliments!
RWD I have wedged the orange cap in a crevice so hopefully it will stay there and grow the way I want it too! |

Dave, I had a really tiny styrofoam box, enough to fit two small frags in, so johnny and i did a lil experiment and sent it 2 day priority mail.
I will be more than happy to send you some purple digitata, and so forth once your tank is cycled, but they should get to you a mere 400 miles away, overnight! |

OOOPS!!! That is a close up of my cream/white acro with the blue corrallites!!!! I am sending buzz that frag!!! the coral is creamy white with all the blue highlights, wish i had a good pic of the mother colony but it is toooo far back in the tank to get a good one! One of the most amazing corals i have ever seen, here is a another one that is totally baby blue, however they grow so tightly packed that it is very hard to frag!!!!! |

and finally a pic of the purple digi,
I have to keep thinning out the shading branches, as when the shaded parts turn brown, but the parts that get full light are a brilliant violet! |

Pat,
I can't wait, everytime I hear you talk about sending frags to Johnny or Buzz, i get excited. Can't wait till the cycle is over, and I can start shipping all you folks shipping money to get this sucker stocked. Heck at the rate I am going I will have 100% captive fragged corals in this tank...
BTW All those are gorgeous.
Johnny keep us updated on the color of that Cap, that is one of the corals im looking forward to getting the most, and I want to know exactly what happens with it...pics pics pics....don't make me un-bury this thread in a week to ask you how it is, we need more frequent updates than that.
Dave

Lovely Purple Digi; if you've got spare frags to send ... I'd happily send something in return [just prop'ed a small army- green digi ... or could send a piece of the aqua colored Acro that has been slowly loosing color in my tank [need more lights I guess].
If not, just happy as a clam to see these trades go on. My favorite part of reefing |

Hey Stoney! The cap frag was a very light brown so do you think it's a goner? Was it suppose to be a orange color? I will keep it in the tank a few days and see what happens! It still slimes when I touch it so is that a good sign?
Hey Dave! I will keep you updated on the cap! |
