Big enough to have a reasonable shipping survival rate?

Tbh I'm not sure cause I have never shipped coral before... i have no issue growing them out more.

All the adults polyps were mauled by my cb shrimp. :(

Sorry this took so long to the winners.

@reeflover I could prolly talk her into another trip out ur way for fall time. Foliage etc...

I'll be in contact.

Ahh if only... I would dearly love to buy a frag but I live in the UK. I've searched everywhere for these corals but they are simply not available over here. Really beautiful and I'm very jealous.

Regards

Lisa

Weve been trying to get @najer to cross the pond and come drink whiskey with us.

If he does, now that he has some more free time, we can work it out ;)

TSA: "Sir, what's in the cooler?"

Simon: "Just leave it be, let nature guide you, and it will be fine."

Cheers

Fragging the dendros again tonight at #CraftsmanCorals headquarters with @thejuice24. The mission will be to get these dang winners their spoils!

You all have waited long enough. The mature heads that were ravaged by the shrimps have babies all over their skeletons.

All the largest heads will be isolated as best I can and will be contacting the winners within the next week after they settle. Trying to get them all shipped out before christmas.

Orange looks nice on a tree I hear ;)

Thanks all for your patience. Just a little while longer.

Looking good so far. I was unable to cut up one of the "teenager" frags because the polyps had already grown against one another. Too much risk to try and run the saw between the heads.

Heres what we got...

Heres a video of me fragging them at @thejuice24 's basement laboratory!

My first check from the new job comes in 2 weeks. Hopefully I can find a window with some warm weather and get these shipped out.

@DSC reef my contest, my rules. :)
U got anything wet yet to receive ur wife's winning frag?

@reeflover
@MSB123
@Dsnakes

Can each of u please pm me preferred conditions of shipping, notes, directions, addresses, and whether or not u wanna run the winter shipping gauntlet when temps come around... or any other concerns with transport or delivery dates.

I assume the holiday travels will be over by then, but I want to be sure no one has vacations or business obligations etc when I send these out.

RSVP :)

Im excited I can finally wrap this giveaway up. It's been a train wreck from the start ;Eggonface

Unfortunately no buddy. I sincerely appreciate the gesture but no tank yet I'm afraid. It means a lot though!
I will keep a frag for u, and haunt ur reef dreams until the time arrives when ur ready. #stubbornsalt :)
