pdxmonkeyboy Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 yeah we will start a seperate thread for pictures and measurementsi was thinking if putting a card behind mine and just measuring the outline. or measure each branch from the base.so you will have a ray of measurements originating from the center but they would all be on one plane... does that make sense? we will figure it out. its not like everyones sps is going to explode and we will need a micrometer to determine a winner. 1/3 will die, 1/3 will live and not grow and a 1/3 will likely take off. if all else fails we can just vote on the top 3.

Curious if that is what Brian was referencing. I had just dipped the coral, and when I took the photos there was a bit of mucus on the frag. The photo was a 4 second exposure, so it could just be mucus moving in the current causing a blur in the photo. I'll take a couple more macro photos later tonight after the mucus dissipates. I can even focus the macro a little closer to get more detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxmonkeyboy Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 IT WAS ONLY A JOKE!! ok, admittedly not really funny but for the record, in the approximately 30? frags i have gotten from cuttlefish i have never seen adult flatworms nor flatworm eggs on ANY of them. and i check every frag with a scope after i learned the hard way after getting a "great deal" on a bunch of sps from someone that a lot of people know who i am talking about and is no longer in business. the frags look awesome, are healthy and I for one are super stoked!

CrabbyCrabs Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well, I'm probably out. Polyps were out and all. Was trying to catch a murderous shrimp and knocked my trumpet down into the sps. Left a bright green/yellow trail on the glass and instantly burned one of the tips of my CNC piece, like a 1/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad and sorry to perpetuate the stress @SuncrestReef ! I forgot the first law of PNWMAS - read all Pdxmonkeyboy posts as if they are in sarcasm font by default 😁. I will try and do better...
