I didn't have a camera at the workshop so I couldn't take any pictures of the event, but since there was some questions about the status of some of peoples frags from the last workshop I think now would be a great time to remind people (who want to of course) to start a photo diary of your frags, so you have pics now, and then in a month or two take other pics so we can have a comparison. If anyone is worried about places to put them www.imageshack.us is a nice place and they will stay for a fairly long time, depending upon how often its downloaded.
Took me a little over an hour to mount all my frags, and I must say that glue is fairly effective, so much infact that that I glued my finger to my pants when mounting a frag, then I glued a piece of plastic to the bottom of my shoe because there was a drop of glue on it.
One final bit, there was a light bluish almost transparent creature inside one of the "sticks", it swam like a shrimp does when it's trying to get away in a hurry, I didn't notice it until it got into the tank, I tried to catch it but failed, any idea what it may have been?
Ok onto the pictures, I don't really care about the names, I'll ask again should they survive and grow out
Not all the polyps are out, my halides were about to go out, and I thought I'd take some pictures quickly rather than wait until tomorrow.
Here's the first one I put in, a fairly large sized frag, it has a pinkish hue to it
Here's one of the few oversaturated pictures I took (unsure how to get around this), this is really high in the tank, and has some really neat fluorescent green polyps (even though the picture doesn't show it).
Oversaturated again, has blue tips, was curled to one side so I figured I'd mount it into the side of the rock.
Welcome to oversaturation central! Brownish/beige, greenish ting about it polyps are just popping out.
This is the piece with the mysterious blue shrimp (although only about twice the size of a good copepod "pill bug looking ones"), it swam off as soon as it touched the water.
I grabbed 3 of these pieces I guess, none of the polyps are out, so I'll just show the one.
Now here you can see polyps! Of course this is close to the front glass, and macro lens works wonders
Ummm yeah insert comment here
Gorgonian! Polyps are all popped out, this was the first thing I stuck in the tank though, so I expected this
