Default Bugs

There will always be pods on coral. regardless of where they come from. i dip all my corals when i get them... since a bad experience. i use seachem Reef Dip. lots came off and died in my dip container. i got one extra frag which is stinky. will die im sure. the other two look fine. So far. Favia Is really nice. im sure the non-stinky zoas Will open today. nice and fat. thanks Brad. you the man! thanks Burc!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Your very welcome. Atlantis zoas has small polyps. I know you really wanted those guys. I hope they are okay.

Well the small ones are really smelly. not a good sign. you included an extra zoa with big fat stems. not the same i assume? they are not open but look healthy. do you know what the extra was, cause i think the Small ones are going to die.

I am sure they will be okay. They are tough little guys.. I forgot one frag out of the water almost 45 mins but they opened up next morning. Just in case i will put one frag aside for you if they dont make it please let me know.

53 - good
61 - good
75 - waiting for them to open
88 - didn't get
99 - good
Bumblee Bee Zoa's - didn't get
Lunar Paly's - didn't get

Shaun
67
69
70
71

J.Lloy, all arrived in good condition. #26 is sliming quite a bit but hopefully will be fine.
