Good Morning @juanfdezdc I dont think I had a chance to welcome you to the club, so welcome to the club! My son and I have enough corals growing that we would like to give you 3 frags so that you can come and enjoy our members swap. We can bring them to the swap with us and give them to you.
Cheers! Mark and Peter

So I’m just wondering what everyone’s mounting preferences are for frag swaps. Plugs, disks, rubble? From what I’ve read, it sounds like some people just toss the plug anyways?
I will be bringing nepthea, zoas, green polyp toadstool, Xenia for free table, and those zoas for the contest

Clear deli containers with lid are good and cheap.
I don’t think there is only 1 right answer for this. Just keep in mind lots of people will remove the frag from whatever it’s on, so don’t go too nuts with the gluing

I prefer rubble, but I'd say just to be safe it might be a good idea to put the frags on something that might be easy for people to take the coral off so they can put it on whatever they want. I've heard tiles make it easy to get the corals off with minimal damage. I think no matter what you put it on, there will always be people that take it off and put it on something else.

Plugs or discs works well. I usually cut 1-2 weeks before the event, then pack them into clear deli containers (Smart & Final for economy ones). Usually a dab of IC gel is placed on the bottom and then adhered to the container (to prevent rocking, tossing, etc.). A label is then printed with the needed info and they're ready to hit the swap.
When I get frags, I usually pull whatever is on there off the plug/discs, dip (Bayer), and then remount on new plugs/discs/rubble. I rather not keep any encrusting tissue (use a scalpel to lift off the top of the mounting surface) than to deal with any sort of pesks, hitchhikers, eggs, etc.

I’ve been in/around the club for years but this will be my first swap. I used to help Eddie manage Tropical Paradise and we used to host BAR meetings there many moons ago so I’ve prob met a few of you before.
In any event, I will be bringing orange yuma, sunny d zoas, green nepthea, and the pink chalice and rainbow chalice in the pics below. Will bring some other zoas and possibly a frag of JF beach bum if it’s needed for the ultra list/raffle as well

Controlled chaos. Usually groups of 5-10 at a time picking corals.
I’d like to suggest that we make the first round at least twice as long or have some other way for people to see what’s there before having to just pick something quickly.
Subsequent rounds are less of an issue because there are fewer corals and you’ve already seen some of them.
