Who got the blue Montipora?

Noticed the blue Montipora digitata disappeared off the J&L N&N page.

Anyone here pick it up? Let's see some pictures! Is there a frag waiting list yet?

If so I want in please!!!

I'll stand in line for a piece when it's big enough to frag Sarah

You bet Marie! I hope it's as pretty as it looked in the picture! (and I don't kill the freakin thing

!)

Greg...it's just a digitata...about 3 or so inches...

Digitata, but blue. Ordinarily I don't get too excited by digitata but this one was definitely an eyebrow raiser.

Sarah, seriously, maybe I'll look you up next time I'm on the Island. Don't worry, it won't be anytime soon (2 year old and a new one on the way - yeah I aint goin' nowhere.

) It'll have grown all over your tank and you'll be all too happy to get rid of pieces of the weed by then.

Not sure if this is kosher to link in like this, but the picture is still available on the site:

Thanks Tony for posting that....I tried to find it but alas was unable. If you make it to the island I will get you a piece for sure! It does appear to be an interesting piece...hopefully. I have always been happy with J&L so I'm sure it will look AMAZING....And I am hoping that it grows like a weed...this is one I wouldn't mind that happening with....seems like there may be an interest in frags

!

I know what you mean, I have a 3.5 year old and 16 year old......when can I get away too?! It is tough...and who knows, I may end up out your way sooner than later...I was in Edmonton this summer as we have family in both Edmonton and Calgary so who knows!

I will post a pic once it is received. I can't wait!

It's here! And it is pretty.....we'll get pics once it colors up after shipping.....

looks like I have a frag (oops

) ... note to self to always check the bag after getting coral but the 3 year old ran in and all h**l broke loose.....and so after said 3 year old is in bed, a bit of staring at it I notice a fresh "cut" off one side...hmmm bit weird, then the light goes on....and I check the bag and low and behold one little frag....hopefully I got it in time as there wasn't much water in the bag anymore......

and the bidding begins at...ha ha ha ha ha...just kidding....but we'll see what I end up with!

HUGE thanks to J&L once again! You guys and gals ROCK!

now....I just "need" a calcium reactor...whew dosing sucks now!

Got glue? Glue that piece onto some rubble and grow it out.

In a pinch, Loctite sells a superglue gel, about $5-6 at Home Depot/etc. but it's a small bottle (not terribly cost effective but will do in a hurry. Hobby shops and places like OA will sell you a bottle that holds 5 times as much for $10ish.. but for quick-and-dirty fragging the Loctite stuff is awesome!)

Can't wait to see the pictures.
