I lost only 1 acro, but I lost it because I dipped it when I saw a bug on it before I put it in the tank. It RTN'ed afterwards...

Turkey baste the crap out of the ones that aren't opening. I find that when crap accumulates btwn the polyps, although you might not see it, it bothers the polyps and they dont open. GIve it a shot.

I have been to four swaps and this is the first time I lost a single frag. So I feel pretty fortuntate.

wow this thread got big quick.

It wasn't made to try to weed out bad people or make people feel bad for losing things or anything negative. Just wanted a quick help on things to avoid, like not getting foot warmers and not using coolers. Playing football with frag bags, or using bubble gum to tape a leaking bag ect.... Silly stuff to try to avoid. I seen people walk out with shopping bags of frags =0)

Lol, I too eventually ended up putting quite a few frags in that green shopping bag. I had a cooler and had expected to pick up a styro packing box while at the swap but to no avail.
Luckily, I was only walking 5-8mins to the friends house.

But so far all my corals are awesoome. Some how all the water even leaked out of 2 of Sanjay's buckets because they some how overturned in hte cooler!

And I'm so proud of my blue tort from lazi, it's still blue!!! And all my other corals are still sexy.
