Default SPS in Calgary...

This is an odd request, but I'm wondering if anyone in Calgary has anything similar to the following - not necessarily ready to frag, as long as you have it, that's good enough.

#2 looks like something I might have (from Duaine up in Ft. Sask), blue polyped acro. I'll take a picture tonight and you can compare it to the one you've shown and see if it's the same. I know I've given a couple pieces of it around here. I've got a piece I've been meaning to get into Canadian Man's tank. I keep forgetting to bring it to him.

#3 looks like a pink milli (Acropora millepora that is). I have some. Canadian Man has some and Kari should have a piece too since I gave him some a while ago ...

#4 is also some kind of A. millepora. I think.

#1 looks like that "deep water surharsoi" or something like that. Everyone seems crazy over them .... to be honest I don't understand the appeal. Maybe if I saw one in person I'd understand, but the pictures just look like a thin branched acro to me.

Pink milli ...


Another milli, not quite like the one you pictured though..


The bluish polyped acro


The only other kind of close one might be the tortish looking one that you can just catch a glimpse of in the lower left corner of the photo above. Different colour though.

Hey Quinn,
I have 1,2,and 3. My #1 has a similar branching pattern, but flourescent green/yellow tips. 2 from tony, and 3 but instead of red is a light blue and a blueish purple.

Mike
