Mohaynow Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 are we not counting nubs? Winner will be based on polyp count, not nub, half polyp, double mouthed polyp (still counts as one), babie almost about to maybe open polyp counts. Only fully opened polyps will count. They can be small polyps but nubs and the previously mentioned thingies will not count towards final polyp count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What was I sposed to do leave it there flopping around till it fell off? No worries man, I was just joking. I'm pretty sure we have all had our fair share of frag mishaps. I gotta watch my turbo snails or else I'll be re-gluing my frag too.
