Brooks

Creepy looking!

The 2nd one is a sponge.

Im guessing the shipping will be to someones house and the standard split up from there?

It is being shipped to Mark Callahan's (mcallahan) house.

Light Saber Acan:

Me likes How much are frags of that going for?

EWWWW! This is no bueno, Mama!

I'm glad to hear you're out of the hospital though! Make sure not to swallow copious amounts of Vicodin... unless ya' really need it.

Can't wait!

<div>We're what, $12 off $500? </div><div>Lets go people  </div>

Brooks lives too far a way. We could each start our own but like you said water changes are a pain to do. I would rather dill with liveing things.

And that, too!

That's a good one Alex. Might be a great way for Christian to get started, Brooks too. Heck, they could join forces!

I agree. It is a pretty nice idea, but I'm one of those people that would pay extra to have it done for me.

Its a Red Digi (Digitata)

DO we have a cutoff date or are we going to leave it open till we reach the $500 mark?

Where is Brooks...? He's always down for some stuff.

Working with the parents.

Before even considering opening a SW business I think the best business move you could do is become as knowledgeable about reef keeping as possible. When you own a business people will automatically think you know what you are talking about. As many of us have learned, that is not always the case with a fish store. If you inform yourself you will not only be helping your customers, but also yourself, by having less loss and healthier specimens.

That is awesome advice!

I've always wanted to have a frag tank setup for rare/LE/exotic LPS/SPS, and sell frags from that. Might happen this summer if my dad OK's it.

Pm'd on Golden Fleece Acans.

OK, I'm trying fish one more time. If it doesn't work, I don't know what else to do. Different source this time.

We bought a pair of Ocellaris clowns and a pair of yellow clown gobies.

I also got a frag of an acropora of some type. Pics forthcoming.

I bet it'll turn out good this time!

Can't wait for pictures!

Saw some things you posted on R2R. Love those Gold Fleece Acanthastrea!

Well, I'm going to have to figure out how to come up with $250 for some goodies so I can get the free shipping LOL.

It will be worth it! They tend to throw in a lot of freebies, too.

Had fun seeing a lot of people.

Thanks Cory!

I found this on RC.thought it was pretty funny and i would share

Hah. I saw Kraylen post this as well. Very, very funny.

"And whatever causes RTN."

I've talked to Mark about it but I'm not sure what he has done.

He has been pretty busy the past few weeks!

Alright, wild goodies time.

This piece of rock is INSANE as far as different life on it.

I would definitely suggest having a quarantine tank if you are ever going to do this. It is just full of random weird life that I would not want near my DT.

Thats the best pic of the whole rock I could get right now. Has 6 total anemones on it. It is also covered in what I think are barnacles. They are all opening and sending out a little scoop shaped fan. There are hundreds of them, looks like the rock is alive and pulsating.

I'm not able to get the best pictures right now, and I would like to spend some time with my SO since she's been gone for a while. But I will try tomorrow.

But heres a quick rundown. Any info is appreciated! I will be looking through the hitchhiker ID guides as I find neat things.

This is what the anemones look like:

In this pic you can see some nudi's, they are tiny, but don't look good to me. They are not in focus, but I will try to get a better pic. You can sort of make out their shape if you know what you are looking for. There are at least 2 here just about dead center of the pic.

This is one of the little minnows she caught. I don't know why she decided to bring them, but whatever. There are I think 5 of these guys. Pretty much see-through.

There are lots of these little guys, they are about 1/2" tall. They are standing up on what I assume are leg like appendages. They dont seem to swim, more crawl. Something from the pod/shrimp family maybe?

I also saw a very very tiny crab and all sorts of different looking pod type creatures.

The things that she said were swimming around real fast are not flatworms, I saw one and it really did remind me of a pillbug. But he was really fast, so hopefully a better pic or description later.

She also brought 2 snails who I will take pics of later. Pretty sure they are a type of whelk, and not something I want to keep.

Any input / criticism appreciated.

Thanks.

Ah! That is too cool!!!

BUMP to remind you to vote!

Gorgeous fish you have there.

Good luck with the sale.

Patience youngling.
