hi all - went to the big liveaquaria.com frag swap this weekend and it was absolutly awesome! drs F&S did a great job of hosting the swap and treated all of us fraggers very well. i got to tour the faclity again and it is just amazing seeing all the frags, corals, clams and their entire setup. they had very good speakers like julian sprung so i learned a lot, and had a great time. there were a lot of fraggers there with some very cool frags for sale and as always drs F&S had the retail just full of great stuff. i bought a couple new frags from them as well, but they went straight into the 125 so they're not in this pic
here is a pic of the frag swap corals i bought in quarentine so they are not fully open yet:

Looks like you got FRAG happy and picked up just a little more than a few! :lol:
Those are some nice looking frags. It'd be great to see what they look like when the all open up.
How far was the Drs F&S frag swap from you?

yea i bought 9 (11 with the drs F&S ones) but i sold 75 frags :) so....... i still ended up being able to buy light bulbs and salt. i live about 45 minutes away - they are my LPS and i just may be their best customer if you know what i mean - i love their corals and i trust them, but there were fraggers and buyers from all over the country there
heres a macro of the dragon eyes and the armagedons :



and here is a shot one of their clam tanks:

they had some T. gigas there that were more then a foot across!! fill a nanocube by themselves :)
yea those two are mine - bought from fraggers. the dragon eye is an eyecatcher but the true orange of that amagedon is so unreal it looks photoshopped in my tank! especially when the actinics are on alone!
they are expecting more then 800 people next year so it keeps getting bigger

I feel the same way Johnanddawn about the armagedons. I feel their the best zoa out there. I got only 3 polyps from my lfs cause your limited to only 3 per customer but it was pricey!!! But just looking at them even under PC bulbs are ridiculous!

Johnanddawn I was there bought just a few of your frags.. bye1: they are all doing well so far. I posted about the pulsing zenias I picked up from the guy next to you. Those are not doing so well. It was indeed an awesome time. Looking forward to trying to get it on with some fragging myself soon.

I do not know all the names of the stuff I got from you. I did get one what looks like a finger leather with some soft branching thing.(I thought it looked cool) Then I got a bigger tan leather from you. There was something else that I got from you but I can not remember. I also picked up a frogspawn(green) and some yellow polyps, some what looks like green star polyps, and those pulsing zenias. I was the younger of the two guys that asked for your email address.

devils hand = lobophytum
kenya tree = capnella
the large leather doesn't really have a common name its similar to toadstools but has a wavy shape not the classic = sarcophyton?

ed, yea it certainly stands out in a croud....... lets just say i paid more then i'm willing to admit too, but less then i was willing too.... ;-) it was very spendy! as were all of this years additions

my goal is to upgrade the quality of my brood stock so i can offer better frags in the future
