cmas frag swap (pics)

I went to the Chicago marine aquarium society's frag swap yesterday, here's what I picked up.

montipora spongodes

finally, been wanting some blue zoas forever

these are pretty sweet, from Japan. They weren't being very photogenic, but I'll post an open pic tomarrow.

I need some help with this one. I know it's an acro, but does anyone know what kind?

It was a great show,

Wow, great stuff. The last one looks a little like a Bali Green Slimer. Expect fact growth on that one.
Really great frags!

why do they call them slimers?

 

[ReefLady]

When another coral in the vicinity "bothers' it, it produces a very thick, protective slime.

I did think it got really slimy when I moved it from the bag to the acclimation tank. I have it really close to some anthelia now, so I'll have to cut it back. Thanks for the help.

Sure thing. Got a new FTS? Those frags are sweet - bet the tank is looking great.

LOVE the new additions! I want some SLIMERS!

al, I'm pretty loose with my frags, so maybe when it's ready I'll send you a pc.

I could post a fts, but it would be that impressive. I've been adding a lot of really nice small frag recently, but they don't show up in a fts. My hopes are that once it all fills in, it will be nice.

Pretty! I just ordered some blue zoas from flricordia that I should have tomorrow. Hope they are as nice!
