I just recieved some sps frags in a trade. I took some quick pictures before I had to come back to work. I will post better pics tonight when I have some more time.
The first pics are of a frag off the original superman montipora.
The others are of frags from the atlantis pink polyp motipora cap.
There is one more frag I did not get a picture of that I will post tonight.
Oh, and hot883, since you have a MH now, you are first in line when I frag these babies. If you look it up, the original superman frags cost $95 for a 3/4" piece.
The atlantis pink frags cost $65 for a 1" piece.
Enjoy!!!!!!!

It will be a while before I frag it. I am not even sure yet what the growth rate is.
But, as I stated in the first post, I am giving hot883 first shot at a frag. I will put you second in line.
It could be several months before I frag it.

By the way, many thanks to ViPeR_930 for the frags.
Great trade and would definately do it again.

By the way, I was informed by ViPeR_930 that I should expect the superman montipora to reach softball size within a year.

awesome. I dont think there was that much demand for monti's in the past but people are starting to see their true colors now and the demand is growing.

Next month I am going to get some acropora. SPS is wayyyyyy more expensive than softies and LPS. It would be real easy to spend thousands getting the SPS I want for my 55 gallon.
I can't imagine how much I will spend when I get my 180+ gallon tank in three years.

If you get really nicely colored stuff, you are looking at about $50 - $110+ for a 3/4" - 1" piece.
You can get stuff for cheaper and much bigger, but I only want really nice pieces so it will be very expensive for me.
I will post a pic of the Derasa Clam in a little while.

I actually traded a Squamosa Clam for the atlantis, superman, and the other frag. The other frag looks exactly like a Leng Sy cap, but I am not sure if it is from the original.
