Reef Pilot's Undersea Oasis

Well, my Hawkins Echinata is still alive. Thought it was going to RTN after being buried in the sand for several days. But looks like that has completely stopped, and not even STN. I think I see some polyps even trying to come out... So pretty happy with that so far.

Traded for a Strawberry Shortcake frag yesterday. Barely a quarter inch sticking out of the plug, and probably the smallest frag I have ever had. But seems to be alive, and even some polyps showing.

Another mystery coral. Anyone know what this is (besides acropora sp.)? Got this frag a few months ago and now branching out in all directions.

Nope, got it from Kelly (007), but at the time, couldn't tell what it was.

hmm.. kelly did get a frag from me as well.

I lost my mother colony, so, I am trying to track down a frag of it from somebody.

I'm sure I can get you a frag, Peter. But it is still pretty small, and would like to grow it out a bit more. It's really taking off now, though, so shouldn't be too long.

Do you know what it is called? It's definitely a nice piece alright.

That's a hell of a nice piece over there

Just put a fancy name on it

Looks like you are a vivid collection of smooth skin acros

I got that coral from Chris (Chowder). It was a unspectacular green rock when I got it. After a couple months it coloured up and started to look like yours. I made a few frags, then, after my frag rack kept falling because of the weight, I sold the majority of it to Paul at Oceanic. I still have a piece, but it's still quite small.

Thanks, Kelly, and for sure drop by some time. Look forward to picking your brain again on a bunch of things.

Yeah, that little frag I got from you turned into a really nice little gem. Do you know the name of it?
