New frag

**kevinpo** · 12-18-2002, 09:22 AM

This is a frag I got from Chuck (MtnDewMan) last weekend at the PSAS meeting. I have it my 90 gal frag growout tank and it looks to be doing very well IMO.

Regards,
Kevin
PS: My camera won't take those fantastic closeups like Chuck's

Don't be so modest Kevin

,the pix is great and close enough for me.Nice looking coral too.Kevin,those polyps are white or light blue?

PS.I wish I could take pics that close and I did try all day yesterday but came up with zilch

**kevinpo** · 12-18-2002, 07:12 PM

Gene,
They look like light lavender to me.

Kevin
Here's another close up of a frag of Seriatopora caliendrum.

***zhenya*** · 12-18-2002, 07:28 PM

Kevin,
Thanks

Light lavender polyps,man this is sweet looking coral

Seriatopora frag is nice as well,I love this colors

Are this frags in your main tank or in a grow out or something?
one day, when my daughter moves out I'll just flood her room and make that a reef

**kevinpo** · 12-18-2002, 09:36 PM

Gene,
These are in my 90 gal growout tank. I'm getting ready to do some serious fragging in a couple of days. I need to pick up some super glue tomorrow. I will post some pictures when I get them mounted.

Regards,
Kevin

***zhenya*** · 12-18-2002, 10:01 PM

Great!

Maybe one of those days I can get some of your frags, for now I'll have to settle for the pics

MtnDewMan · 12-18-2002, 11:21 PM

Kevin, that piece is looking good ...

Here is the momma colony for that piece.

Yes, I do believe they are lavender polyps.

Glad to see it made the journey okay Kevin. I want to see pictures of the other frags I gave you as well

**kevinpo** · 12-19-2002, 12:11 PM

Here's the other sweet frags I got from MtnDewMan. They are worth the 615 mile drive (IMO)

Regards,
Kevin

**kevinpo** · 12-19-2002, 12:12 PM

And another...

**kevinpo** · 12-19-2002, 12:16 PM

And one more...

MtnDewMan · 12-19-2002, 08:12 PM

Looking good Kevin

I think you will like those pieces when they grow up ...

Mushroom Boy · 12-20-2002, 09:36 PM

Nice frags Kevin. Which is the one that is the first of the series of 3 that you just posted? I don't recognize it from Chuck's tank.

Paul.
ps. that lavender polyped colony really is a beauty.

MtnDewMan · 12-20-2002, 10:33 PM

Paul,

That is the Blueberry Acro from Bob Moore ... the dark purple/blue one near the pink pocillapora at the top.

***zhenya*** · 12-20-2002, 10:45 PM

Kevin,those are really nice frags

Chuck,too bad I live a tiny bit more then 615 miles from you

That parent colony is really something to see in person I bet

MtnDewMan · 12-20-2002, 11:02 PM

If you are interested in seeing the parent colonies of the last 3 pieces Kevin showed, here they are ...

Of the last 3 frags that Kevin showed, here are the parent colonies for the 1st and 3rd frag ...

The middle frag came from this small colony ...

And here is an idea of how these colonies look as a whole in the tank ...

***zhenya*** · 12-20-2002, 11:11 PM

Thanks Chuck

It is really really nice colonies.What I really implied was that i would really love to get some of this frags from you and Kevin

One day maybe,when I have another tank going,than I could have just captive frags tank and watch them grow

Now that it's been awhile,I have more patience and don't care if tank looks like rocks with short sticks

MtnDewMan · 12-20-2002, 11:57 PM

If you ever make it out here, I am sure Kevin and I would be glad to part with a few frags.... What do you think Kevin???

***zhenya*** · 12-21-2002, 01:07 AM

Thanks Chuck,
Chance of me geting to Washington state as good as wining a lottery

I get on a plane once in few years to go on a trip with my wife's company,other times it's driving for me

I'm working on it though and maybee one day I'll get brave again....And just to think that I used to fly every weekend to the keys not that long ago,seems like a life time ago sometimes though...

**kevinpo** · 12-21-2002, 10:20 AM

I'm looking into opening my own LFS and I plan to have frags and corals available on the internet.

Regards,
Kevin
