Nice write up Bert! Love your recaps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, juts how many times you have posted. Its to show people how active you are or are not I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And if there are any zoa collectors out there interested in medium to high end zoas, I've got: JF Askrak, WWC Pink Krak, Butt Muncher, OG Vampire, electric Oompa Loompa, LC Petroglyphs, Darth Maul, GB Cosmic Flame, And AquaSD Arch Mage frags to name a few. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bottom left is a purple hair mushroom that gets huge. I'll shoot you a PM! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries! Sounds like an interesting morph! You should get a pic! I actually don't have eagle eyes anymore, my colony died a few months ago so if you have a frag you want to trade, let me know Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I hope you can make it Bert! Sounds like there will be some delicious food and the guys at TPA always host a good meeting. This swap thread was a little last minuet so I don't have to much hope for it lol. Just wanted to get one up in case people had some pre-made frags they wanted to trade around.

The top right is actually a purple mushroom. And the second one in on the bottom left is a a blue mushroom. Blues and purples are super hard colors to capture in pictures for me lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are a few photos of coral I've got for trade. I have more not pictures, so if your interested so just PM with a color request and I'll see what I can do. Not all WYSIWYG but I can promise they look just as good. I'm interested in trades for other zoas, bubble tip anemones and Ritteri anemones! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's Saturday at 2pm I believe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll have zoas, softies, and some LPS to trade. I will post pics tonight. I'm looking for different strains of Bubble Tip Anemones, ritteri Anemones or high end zoas. So let me know what you've got for trade and we can work something out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the June meeting is takin place this Saturday which means its swapping time!! ***I'm going to borrow Bert's write up since it was well written. If you're not ok with this Bert just let me know!**** "Our frag swaps are pretty casual but here is a good idea on how they work for those of your know may not be familiar with them. If you would like, you can do your trading on the fly by just bringing by a few pieces and hoping that some one will have a desirable coral you want...Or better yet, you can post up what you have to trade and work out a pre-emptive exchange here on the forum. That method always works best for myself and others generally. You can feel free to use this thread to post your trade-ables in or start a thread of your own. But First, let me get you some of Bert's basis tips for success here. 1.) make an attempt to have a fragment of reasonable size and health and try and get things cut and ready a few days to a week ahead of time to have the wounds healed up for the exchange. And double/triple check for pest invertebrates or algaes before sending your corals out, we try to keep invasives to a minimum here...And once you get your frags home, just in case, always acclimate the specimens then dip the corals before you put them into your personal aquarium. 2.) Try to package your corals appropriately. This can mean not putting a spiny coral like birds nest into a thin dollar store bag or not utilizing insulation on an extended cold or warm trip. Try a small cooler or Styrofoam. If you can't find either of these and the destination is a long distance, keep the vehicle air conditioned or heated appropriately. As far as packaging goes you can double bag and use thicker mil plastics, or something else like a Tupperware or specimen container. I have even used washed out yogurt or cottage cheese containers that stack well inside the coolers. Just use something that will work, nothing like losing a nice and colorful animal because the bag got too cold and leaked all the water out on the way home. 3.)Do your best to be courteous and fair to one another by not take advantage of each others ignorance or generosity. These are people of all levels in the hobby so give them the benefit of your knowledge and experience instead of the cold shoulder. And speaking of generosity, that giving nature has always been smiled upon here at PNWMAS and pay it forward tends comes back around these parts. Well, the meeting is only 3 away so we got to get the ball rolling people." There you have it folks. The wise words of Bert. So post up what you've got and let's see some trading! ***I'm not sure if there will be a frag Swap tank or not so plan accordingly! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
