If you're interested, I've got some purple acro colonies that I could frag. I also have some smallish Montipora capnicoris pieces (some "accidental frags" that were made a couple of weeks ago), which are orange with hints of rose/red starting to form in the growing area.

And as luck would have it (your luck, not mine [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), I have to go to Edmonton for a few days next week... I could carry these with me but it might be tricky to meet up, as I am going up for a work related site support trip. I will be leaving in the morning, and I usually get in town about 9:30 when I do this. (Because this trip is for work, my availability is very limited. I don't really have any time to myself on these site trips..) So how is YOUR availability looking, could we arrange to meet in the morning during the week (or at lunchtime)?

Failing that, are you ever in the Calgary area? I'm sure we could work something out.

Anyways, if you're interested, send me an email... we'll talk. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Alan I will bud in and speak for Tony.
I am sure Tony would hook you up with an acro frag but they need intense lighting. like your Iwasaki set up ;)

I'm thinking of the orange "accidental frags" as well. Orange is maybe my favourite colour. :D (And then purple. ;) )

I know the MH setup needs to get in there. I'm boosting the flow today, and hopefully getting around to some carpentry this weekend. Maybe on Mother's Day, yeah... :rolleyes:

AJ_77, of course they are available locally! [img]smile.gif[/img] Canadian_Man is correct about the lighting, of course ...

Of the M. cap, what I have is pretty small still. The largest frags are no more than 1" square. The smallest is only a few mm in size, but amazingly even at that size they are showing polyp extension (M. cap has very small polyps -- you have to look REAL close ;) ). The real small ones, if they grow a little, will be looking for homes eventually, but for now I would like to grow them up a little.

My purple acro is a virtually bulletproof coral, and one of my fastest growing corals. A piece of it is available anytime, just need to break off a piece and away we go. Actually, I tend to make accidental frags of this all the time...

If anyone is interested, I also have a small colony (a frag made about a year ago) of my purple acro. Only thing is it is not purple, the tank it is in has an old bulb, and it hasn't gone purple on me. It is chocolate brown. Other than the somewhat less exciting colour it has a nice shape and is a decent size. It *will* colour up under good lighting... it just needs the proper environment. I've been hanging onto this guy for mainly sentimental reasons (I dunno .. I guess I get attached to my "baby corals") but I guess I don't really need 3 colonies of the same coral..

Hey Tony,

I'll trade you the purple acro (that turned brown) for a red montipora digitata frag. I'll be in town this Sunday for mother's day and I'm bring Alan a pom-pom xenia frag, and bringing Eli some frags. Alan's meeting me at Eli's on Sunday late afternoon. You interested in the pulsing pom-pom? Let me know.. thanks Tony....
