Mandinga Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Here is the concept: Bring your rare/unique/colorful Montipora to the swapping table. We are looking for 5-8 participants. Each participant must frag a colony to make 5-8 individual frags. Then, we will all meet at an upcoming meeting and do a 5-8 person frag swap. Each person involved will get 5-8 different frags. Since I am the starter, I get to be picky about the corals being traded:) please post or pm me what you want to trade. WE ARE LOOKING for unique/rare montis...so please don't get upset if an orange cap doesn't get you in. 1. Mandinga -peach Diablo, or pokerstar, or true undata 2.Jadams - rainbow monti or green/purple cap 3. TPA - Chili Pepper, Setosa, or Seasons Greetings 4. Fishboys Morningstar montipora 5. 6. 7. 8. Here are my possible colonies to frag: Or Edited August 7, 2015 by Mandinga 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher Thinking Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I don't have an orange monti cap, I have the super rare Oregon State monti, born and raised in Corvallis. It just happens to look exactly like the regular orange monti. Will that get me in? [emoji12] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams7 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If we can get this going I have a Rainbow Monti (encrusting) that I can get some frags of. Or some green with purple rim cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I will send you a picture of one I have that I can get plenty of frags of. Might not be rare enough to get into the club but I have to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Thats the problem, I have many montis but not that you guys don't already have, and the ones I do have that you may not are still growing. But still a great thing to do I just don't know if I have anything to offer. That OSU Cap is pretty tempting though, I haven't seen any for a while.

ThePremiumAquarium Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I have Chili Pepper, Setosa, and Seasons Greetings that I would be willing to swap. I am sure I could make 6-8 frags. I started a new sps tank and wouldn't mind getting my hands on some more variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I've got you down Garret. At some point we will have to get some discussion about the options that everyone has set forth so far. And a great meeting spot would be at the TPA as well...

Mandinga Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Ok fishboys is in with what looks to me like a morningstar monti. Brownish/purplish base with electric green polyps. Edited August 7, 2015 by Mandinga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerk1985 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would get in on this, But thanks to a few of you awesome individuals, I have everything you guys have posted so far lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would get in on this, But thanks to a few of you awesome individuals, I have everything you guys have posted so far lol I have wondered what qualifies as rare nowadays, I wanted to say the same thing as cerk but didn't want to sound rude. Infact it would not suprise me if issac already has the montis we have, or should we Just list what is already not listed like a white polyped foliosa?

Mandinga Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 It doesn't have to be rare, just desirable:) truth is I already have most listed montis here, but i was hoping this will help some people get their collections started, or re-started. White polyp foliosa would be nice to add...I actually don't have that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthbound Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would be happy to throw a little piece of tubbs stelata and some forest fire into the mix oh and some sunset too if anyone wanted it Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Well count me in then, I like the idea of spreading the Montis across the land, white polyp foliosa for now and I will dig around and see what might be fraggable here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerk1985 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Just a though, might make things more complicated, but since some people have more the one option to offer you may make each personable to chose what frag they get from each other instead of one person bringing all the same thing. That would help get more pieces in the swap that others dont have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
