Subject: Coral Propagation Requests

Okay this is a little early, but I'd rather be early than late.  Our next Coral Propagation Seminar will be November 4th.  Last time we did this we asked for requests and everyone asked for very high priced rare corals.  Personally I (along with another couple pres members) were worried about how that would work financially.  However, we were pleasantly surprised at how well it went.

So again, "what would you like to see propagated at the next session?".  This can be different corals, or different methods, or different genera, or different colors, or different lighting requirements, or whatever.

AND, would you like to see the auction like we had before.? 

Adam

The auction was great.  I would donate a nice piece for the auction.

I think it would be cool to do something on propagating Ricordia.

As far as requests: Bright colored acropora and zoos sound good to me!

I'd request some things but I think I'm beginning to run out of room in my tank (hard to believe since seeing it while Bob Burhans was here I know, Adam, But it's come a long way since) I guess some ricordias or zoos could always find some surfaces to cling to.

There was a really bright pink birds nest at aquatica yesterday (they got in a whole bunch of really cool corals) that would be something cool to have.  Other than that some really bright or unusual zoos and sps.

Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

The giant clam in my tank spawned a few days after being moved from it's old home. It was spawning for about an hour. It was cool. I think two clams are needed but I'm not sure. John Walch, the originator of the RDP Refugia, told us that he set up the Soloman Island clam breeding facilities and how to make clams spawn by setting them out in the sun or draining their raceways for a while, not sure for how long. Really cool

I like the colorful zoanthids.  Everyone can use them.

Hardy soft coral like Mushroom Leather/Sarcophyton may not seem like much to some of us, but maybe there are enough newbies in the club to make it worthwhile? And who doesn't like a Green Tinged or a Gold Sarco. And would it be better to have the frags already attached? If so, I offer my fraggin' tank for making and holding them and other softies if you like.

Being that I am new to the hobby and all, I agree with Mark.  I really do not know a lot about what is hardy and what will go well in my 15 gal nano.  Heck, I dont even know most of what you guys are talking about when it comes to corals. ( as far as names are concerned)

i'd like to see blastos and rics fragged

As I am having to start my tank over from scratch I would be another member in agreement with Mark!

I've had a few people tell me they're not interested in hard corals.  How about more softies?  I know, it's a different fragging process & not as many pieces from the parent (compared to an acropora), but softies are great.

I'd like a yellow leather coral and of course  brite colored zoos.  The acros  I have gotten before have not faired so well in my tank but the monti's do well.
