I will be at Reefwise TONIGHT from 5-6pm meeting with people - I did bring a few extra polyps if others wanted to pick theirs up @ RW - If so, please PM me to verify that I still have enough left and that I don't leave early because I didn't know you were coming.

I also bagged a few frags: Pink Zippers, Pink Hippos, Vivid Rainbows, ASD Blues, AOG, and Cats Eyes available for anyone. PM me if interested.

^#@^%@#%!#@!

This is becoming very odd... all the polyps were fragged/healed for 7-10 days in my tank in front of a PH alternating on/off every 10secs and seemed fine. Prior to pick-ups, I checked them again and if they seems at all loose I added some extra glue. Some people have been able to notice it before it detaches... and it appears the stalk is splitting, not simply coming lose from the glue (the remaining piece on the plug/glue quickly deteriorates from CUC).

Verses for if instance... we've only had 1 case of a chong bong coming lose (out of over 30 fragged). This has me extremely puzzled ... =/

I would check all your polyps to verify that they are completely attached. I always take extra time when fragging, specially when its for a grow out with limited # of polpys.... I've already given out my own personal head, just afew tiny babies left from the initial fragging that i saved just to see if they'd turn into anything.
 
Well, just a suggestion to ppl who lost their polyps (polyps came off of the frag plug) ..it helps to increase the flow or jsut move your powerhead in different direction and if ht epolyp is still somewhere in the tank it would surface ..just get a hold of it and re glue it.
