Pardon me mam but are you referring to the micro nano colonies
 
its a perception thing, the moon looks small from my back yard as an example  

Oh my gosh, if this wasn't such a family friendly forum, I would have a great come-back to the size/perception theory you are advancing. Don't be lobbing me softballs!

At least you aren't giving out majano's!

No, that would be Brad that gives out majanos with his frags.  🤣

Sure thing! Did you want the xenia or the clove polyp frag?

Uh oh.... is that stn on the base of @Gil&Fin’s 

frag? 😱

Only is "stn" stands for "Second To None"!  Ha!

Well my color is good and it is hairy as heck but no encrusting. Or growth, really. I'm not worried, though I'd feel better if there was growth down to the plug.

I do feel a little sorry for all the wittle bitty frags in Brad's tank. They're so cute, though!

 

Sold.  Mods please close.

This Tunze 7077/3 dual stage regulator needs the face of the output gauge flattened/replaced.  If you are handy or don't care about that gauge, this is a great deal.  

 

Hi, @Katrina.  I don't want to hijack your thread with a diatribe about palytoxins, but, well, I guess I am.  I'll try to keep it brief.

As most of the people on the forum know, I had a rather scary exposure which has left me with slight vision loss in my left eye.  I am a sort-of experienced reefer and should probably be so embarrassed about the situation that I keep the experience to myself, but I think it is too important to share so that others take it seriously.  I can give you details if you would like, but the upshot is that I knew the palys were dangerous so when I saw that they had spread, I had the brilliant idea of removing them.  Since they can kill surrounding coral when you remove them, I had the additional brilliant idea of removing the rock and pulling them off the rock with tongs.  I wore goggles and gloves to be "safe."  Somewhere in this process, I must have touched my eye with my glove or with my hand after touching my glove or who knows.  There was no pain or problem...until the next morning.  I won't bore you with the details (though I'm happy to share them if you want), but suffice it to say that it was literally the worst pain I have ever experienced and I spent the ensuing months treating with a specialist at OHSU so that I wouldn't lose my eye.  I'm happy to report that I have almost all my vision back now.  Almost.

Anyway, I would obviously recommend that you get them out of there, but it is tricky because there are risks doing it in the water and risks doing it out of the water.  I don't want to give you advice, but if it were me I would carefully, and in full safety garb, take the whole rock out, put it in a plastic garbage bag, seal it, and dispose of it.  I would not try to save the rock.  I know rock is expensive, but so is a specialist at OHSU.  

One more thing--remember that palytoxins are not just a danger to your vision.  They can be fatal if somehow inhaled or they get into your body some other way.  Best to read the article Reefnjunkie posted as well as other case reports.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

@xxkenny90xx, you are welcome to whatever John doesn't take. I'm in southwest Portland near Washington Square.

Haha! Well you can take whichever ones work best with his wardrobe. You can take a larger size too, for when he has a "fat day" and just wants to be comfortable.

Any of these work?

I'll check today, John.  I literally have a box of them so I have to think I there is something in there around that size.

Well that was fast.  Sold.  Mods please close. 

Don’t get mad when I flip it tho

Okay but you have to sell it under the name RNJ Holly's Badass Jawbreaker.

I have a couple of really nice jawbreaker mushrooms for sale.  They are each about the size of a quarter, maybe a little bigger.  Coloring is amazing.  The second one has a baby.

Let me just say up front that if the person who wins is one of those "I Don't Do Water Changes" ninnies (yeah, Brad, I'm talking to you), I might just have to...to...well I'm not sure yet, but it will be awful.  

Andy, a protractor?  Really?

Damian, how did you get three frags?  Don't think I'm not on to you.

David, what exactly are you measuring, man!?  That is like the worst frag measurement of all time.

John, as expected, your write up is an A+.  Even if you don't win, you will have the best pics, hands down.

Nevermind.  It doesn't look like it will fit.  Thanks though, Taylor!

This might work perfectly for a friend who is just starting out.  Let me check with her about dimensions.  I'll PM you.  Thank you so much for offering this up, Taylor!

Yeah - sorry. Turns out I also wasn’t able to be on the forum for this. 

No problem, Sean. We will work it out.

Darn, Alex!  This post didn't come in until this morning.  I think the same thing happened that happened to pino503--you're so new to the forum that the mods had to approve your post.  I'll PM you and see if we can put something together that you would like.

Is 16 available? If so, sold!

You got it! Nice to see your name pop up. It's been a while!

@Pino503 It looks like you posted "Sold" on a couple of packs, but the posts didn't come through until just now.  I'm guessing that is because you are so new that the mods had to approve your posts, which delayed them.  PM me, and I'll see if I can hook you up with some of the corals you missed out on.

Sorry.  Yep, sold.
