I will have 2 green star polyp colonies.

Each will be small, but will grow under VHO or MH lights.
Each is free to a member of the club providing that.....
  1. They provide an adequate environment for it to grow.
  2. They are at the next meeting to receive a colony
  3. They describe how it grows for them under their conditions, and what those conditions are.
  4. They promise that once they are twice the size they are now, they will donate a colony the approximate size of the original donor colony.
If you wish to be a sponsor....reply to this list. The first two will get a colony. The next people on the list will receive frags from the Sponsors when the colony has doubled.

The Polyp's doing well Zeeman, just an update, I think its starting to spread. Though my Florida Condi just inch up to it every so often, but it's really looking good. I'll get a pic if I can

Zeeman, is there any way I could get a smaller frag? Let's say, half dollar to dollar size (if you are familiar with the "old" dollar coins).

I'd love to try these. They seem to do well in lower light picos.

I would love to try a frag of those green star polyps they look pretty cool. I have read that they grow very fast in the right conditions. Let me know if you still have a frag available.

The ones I donated are gone.  Maybe someone that I donated to will be able to frag it out and pass it along.  That is how the program is suposed to work.   I am going to try and go to the next frag swap up in Monroe with a few to sell to try to support my coral habbit.  They'll be $5.00 ea and have a least 10 polyups on each frag.

I've already agreed to donate to burks, and I could spot you too rockn'roll, given I don't butcher the animal, this will be my first time fragging

The polyps haven't spread like mad like I had hoped, and am actually kind of embarrassed about. But they are lively. I think I'll try dosing them with DT soon

Dont go and chop stuff up on my account. I dont want anything to die. I was just wondering if there was any left that were already fragged.

I was just kidding about butchering the animal, it isn't that hard right? I'm not that incompetent... lol

Alright, I just fragged the polyps, Burks in your PM you requested like 5 or so polyps each, thats about how much I could get off, hope thats ok rocknroll. These guys grow pretty fast, if for some reason they don't make it, hit me up again and I'll try bigger chunks

Just to let you know, both frags are nearly fully opened and doing well. They look really nice.
