I'm horrible at remembering the names of the corals I got lol. 2 gonis, pc rainbow, vivid confetti and one other acros, 3 hammers and a Lobo. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow. I also got 3 rock scape.
These seems like enough rock for this bad boy right?
Rescaped my wife's tank. If not for her I wouldn't have even spent anything at cfm. Was supposed to go to just pick up coral from people I bought from online before hand. (The Lobo is front and center here)

When the doors first opened, there was not a large crowd waiting like there was last time I was there. But we did have a bunch more people stop by the booth to chat with Eric and myself during the first hour.

Wow looks great ! Are those the dry structures you just bought? Or cured ones?
Dry structures. I have all my live rock from this tank in the sump until these get established.
I got them from Reef Rock Oasis. I've still got a bunch of live rock that I need to break up and build out some rock scape with. But once that's done if I still need more I'll definitely be hitting you up

picked up a NY Knicks torch, some unidentified indo gold torch, some type of digi, a firework clove, and a maxima clam. First time going to CFM and didn't realize the prices would be that good. I was expecting to see 500+ torches and nothing but expensive corals with fancy names.
Yea, the prices don't mean much there. I got an acro for $100, he was asking $250
It was great, thanks everyone for volunteering! Anyone notice the guy in the corner near the bar booth with the maricultured torch colonies? I figured it out immediately when I saw the rock bases with tracking tags plus they had really different skeletal morphology than tank grown ones.
That guy has a shop in Stockton.
Oh yeah for sure, I chatted with him a bit and the left side tank was tank grown stuff and he said the others were maricultured. Just thought it was interesting seeing how different they grow and how fast these designer torches can be grown properly.

Yeah that's where I got my gold torch. Can't wait to see how it does.
Do any of you recall the name of the shop? Seems worthwhile to give a shout-out. I like it when people focus on mariculture/aquaculture. It makes me feel less guilty than wild collection and fits well with the BAR mission.

Bought this piece off of one of the torch vendors (one on the right)! Opened up very nicely. Was hoping to find someone to share a bigger colony with (better deal) and split, but ended up going with a single splitting head. If anyone is interested in buying a larger piece with multiple fraggable heads down the road, I’d be in!
