The title says it all, thanks Sal for putting this together. And thanks to Josh for playing auctioneer and taking care of everyone, not to mention all the customers who took care of tracking the coral sales and carrying stuff to the back for marking/bagging for everyone's wins.

I had my eye on the extra large blue/purple/pink acro show-quality colony, since I almost bought it at sticker price for $200 on Thursday, but with so many new acros to choose from, I had to pass it up. Someone took it home for $140 and they certainly got a killer deal.

I left with a large pink cat's paw SPS colony, softball-sized green/pink SPS acro colony, and 6-head purple/green blasto all for only $100 (along with a free lunch). We were all getting the good stuff for about 1/2 off the marked price.

Great event, definitely keep this coming Sal!

Thanks again-
Dustin

Looks like the coral in your pic is bleaching in the center? I noticed that in the store.

Cat's Paw.....?? Scientific name..?

It looks like a little bit of die-off in the center....but now it has 2 Tunzes blasting it..so I hope the centers will recover.....

The polyps are coming out now and they are lime green :)

nice coral Todd !! I may be wrong but that looks like a stylo and should be a bright pink or yellow ! they are very fast growers and tough as nails! our rock pools are full of them! another great quality is that they are planulae spawners so you may notice some small colonys springing up on your pipes and power heads
