[H@rry]

Here's what I'll be bringing to the swap. I have several of most of these but I only have a few of several. If you see anything you like and want me to hold for you let me know.

1. ORA Hawkins Blue Echinata - The ORA Hawkin’s Blue Echinata exhibits rounded branching growth patterns. This delicate ORA coral displays exquisite sapphire blue polyps. ORA named this coral after Robert Hawkins, a facility manager, who acquired this coral from Germany back in 2006. The Hawkin’s Blue prefers strong lighting provided by Metal Halides and will thrive with strong variable flow. As with most SPS, stable levels of calcium level (400-450) and dKH (8-12 ) should be maintained. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $50

2. Strawberry Shortcake - Mine is intense red and pink but I keep it under high lighting. Others report that it will develope a green base under less light. It needs very good flow. - 1 inch mounted - $50

3. Rocket City Red Chalice - Awesome Red/Pink coloration. Very hardy but not a fast grower. Definitely worth the wait though! - 1 - 1.25 mounted - $45

4. Rocky Top Montipora capricornis - Color will change with lighting from brown in dim lighting to olive green to purple under intense lighting - 1.25 - 1.5 inch mounted - $45

5. Misty Blue - Very fine dense shaggy green polyps with pastel blue tips - Not a fast grower but certainly will stand out in your reef. 1 inch mounted - $40

6. Alabama Bonsai - Very fine branching structure - Vivid pink/purple with tiny green polyps - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $40

7. ORA Rose mille - Intense reddish pink coloration with light pink growth tips and pink polyps. - 1.25 inch mounted - $35

8. Purple austere - Blue/purple branches with tiny blue polyps. Very heavy clumping growth pattern with short branches - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $35

9. Atlantis Red cythera - Thin branch tabling growth pattern. Very hardy - 1 inch mounted - $30

10. 38 Special - Small dense branches with purple tips. Lower branches in the shadows take on a green tint. Not a fast grower but very hardy and not as light demanding as most Acros. - 1.25 - 1.5 inch mounted - $30

16. Ponape Bird Nest - Creamy yellow base with bright pink/purple sharply pointed tips. This one is a show stopper and seems to attain better colors with less light than others. A good choice for T5s. - 1.5 - 1.75 inch mounted - $20

17. ORA German Blue Polyp M. Digitata - This is a fast growing multibranching coral. It is a peaceful coral and can be placed near other peaceful corals. Ample growth room should be given due to it’s rapid growth rate. - 2 - 3 inch mounted - $15

21. Pink Lace Bird's Nest - Hot pink thin branches that are tapered to a point - 3 inch mounted - $10

22. Dirty H@rry - This one has the same growth pattern and structure as the Tri-Color valida but has more purple with a lack of the green base. Very hardy and a medium grower. - 1 - 1.5 inch mounted - $10

23. Xenia elongata - Constant pumping movement - fast grower - 1-2 stalks mounted - $10

24. Purple Smoke M. capricornis - Very deep purple - 1 inch mounted - $10

25. Shady Lady M. capricornis - This one is a light olive color with slightly purple rim under Halides and glows green under Actinics - 1.25 - 1.5 inch mounted - $10

26. Valentine Pocillipora damicornis - Fine delicate growth pattern, colonies are compact clumps - tips turn pink under 10K halides - 2 - 3 inch mounted - $10

27. Tyree Rainbow M. - The Polyps of this Rainbow Monti are bright green within the corals center section. On the leading growth edge polyps turn orange/red. What makes this coloration change even more interesting is that polyps located in the area between the leading edge and center section have pigments with a spread coloration located spectrally between red and green. As you travel outward from the center section the pigments change from green to yellow to orange and then finally reddish orange. Thus the name Rainbow Monti. The faster the coral is growing and encrusting the wider the reddish orange region. In brighter lights there can also be more reddish orange polyps. The main coral coloration is blue and the surface of the coral has many small bumps or tuberculae. This is probably a blue Montipora danae species with a rainbow polyp color morph. - - 1.25 inch mounted - $10

28. Tri Color Valida - Very thin branches that grow in a cluster. The base color is amber with shades of blue, purple, and pink on the tips. Fast grower for an Acropora. - 1.25 - 1.5 inch mounted - $10

29. Frilly Purple Gorgonian - This one is easy to keep and requires no special feeding as it is photosynthetic. The branches are a very deep purple and the creamy polyps give a fuzzy appearance as they wave in the current. I have attempted to show it with polyps extended and with polyps retracted. We have tried to keep several gorgonians over the years without much success until we found this one. - 2 - 2.5 inch mounted - $10

Thanx for looking - see y'all there!
