Ive been hearing from a few people that they lost a few pieces they got at the swap. I know alot of people didn't use heater packs in their bags, and it was cold and crappy during the day. And alot of people were there 5+ hours.

I lost a clam, it was pissed when i brought it home and lasted 2 days. Im sure its because of the temp drop in my cooler bag and all the jumbling it did in there walking around. Everything else was super fine. And i handled everything real well, acclimated, ect.

Anyone else maybe lose something or have something stressed out badly? Not trying to put the blame on anyone, but it gives a good heads up on precautions during next swap to minimize stuff like this.

Post up why you think stuff happened if it did happen to you. Helps people in coming swaps.

I used heat packs in my bag. They were for sale at the front desk, next time we will have more and they should be cheaper as well.

I lost one montipora that came from BAR, I think it was nearly bleached out when I got it so I don't think it was due to all the shipping and movement. I don't see anything on the skeleton but it hasn't accumulated any diatoms yet so maybe it is still alive.

They were hand/foot warmers available at the Registration Desk.

instead of heatpacks my 4 frags (sunset, microladus 2 zoos) were chilled/frozen by a pack of krill shrimp. that person will be unknown, and the sps r dead.

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.
