Some new corals from Discovery World Frag Swap in Milwaukee, WI

mattheuw1 · Sep 21, 2009

My wife and I went to the frag swap at Discovery World on Saturday the 19th. We had a great time.

I came home with a couple chalice frags, a 3 head favia, 1 head acan, a chunk of hydnophora and a nice maxima clam and some super green glowing pimped out birdnest looking thing, maybe you guys can tell me what it is? Got a good deal on the clam because I questioned the amount of algae on the clam's shell. He assured me that my hermits would clean it but I wasn't persuaded until I placed it in the tank and BAM! 5 hermits attacked this think and had it spic and span in 10 minutes.
hydnophora $15. About 4.5 inches. Strange camera angle. Glows very bright.

Some sort of red chalice $15, marked $30, wet thumb hooked me up.

3 head favia. Nice purple with really cool super bright green eyes. $15

Maxima Clam getting bathed by a couple blue-legs...

Not sure what this is...SPS of some sort. Starts with an S I think. any help?

Purple chalice $10

Nice 1 head acan $5. fragged perfectly. Very interesting detail, didn't get a good pic though.

Also picked up one of these for 20 bucks, Seachem Reef Status Magnesium, Carbonate Borate Test Kit. Anyone use this kit?

Overall, the prices were decent, the corals were great and abundant. Some very rare expensive pieces. There was a $400 tiny 3 head blasto, there were scoly frags up to $500 for thumbnail sizes. Amazing pieces. All vendors were fair and willing to bargain. Discovery World was a great coral swap host too.
