My First CFM!

[Invictus]

Someone stole the other half of that colony...

He found it lol. False alarm.

Here are a couple pieces I picked up. Jose from Aquatic Operations was awesome, and glad I got to support both @Arvin R and @Alexx

I was able to pick up, a small nub of vivid confetti acro (30), a multi branch tsa bill murray acro (20), a very chunky RR Pink Cadillac acro (20), a green/purple 3 head frogspawn (30), a splitting green torch (20) to 2 head teal splatter hammer (40)
I also was gifted 3 bottles of pods, a bottle of brine, and phyto from reef nutrition.

The euphyllia are all closed up following a revive dip. But the splatter hammer was unique and georgous. I'll add better pictures of euphyllia when they are happy if I remember.

All in all a great day lol, I only went $10 over budget.

You're superman for only going that little over budget!

They opened slightly

I said I was only there to volunteer but showed up a little early and bought some acros:

Solar flare mille

Fruity (pebbles?)

Vivid Confetti

Not sure what this one is called but it’s super bright pink!

 

[AARP-reefer]

Candy crush shroom, Pink Nepthea and a few Acropora

Forgot about these cool zoas I picked up from our very own @Alexx

 

[Matthew Meyer]

Looks like some great stuff. I know @Matthew Meyer and @thephoreefer got a few cool things.

Post a few pics once they’ve settled in.

Bought this hammer because it was yellow/rainbow. Everything always looks so green in my tank. Not sure what to do.

Still absolutely beautiful, but I’m sure it comes down to the lights you have, as well as ambient lighting. Tweaking the color spectrum on your lights is probably your best bet.

 

[Jhawk01]

Bleeding apple acantho(possibly i don’t know)(150)

Weeping willow leather(40) and pikachu zoa(20)

Slightly splattered octospawn(30), a gold hammer(20) and a more orange hammer(20). hard to tell the difference in the picture

I actually walked away with money in my pocket for once. I don’t think I have ever done that.

 

[Jhawk01]

First CFM in the books! A lot of different corals! Like a kid in a candy shop. I only stayed one hour otherwise I’d spend all my money lol Who went? What did you guys get? I got some torches, hammers, a Zoa frag. And I finally got one of the BAR hoodies from @Srt4eric

Would love to see some pictures of your corals you got once they are set up in your tank fully.

Everything looks better when viewed from the top down. Pro tip: At the show, or anywhere really, look at the coral from the side of the tank to get a better representation of what the coral will look like in your tank.

Not the best pics but here are some from the morning after!

Seems like this show was pretty well rounded in terms of selection from softies / LPS / SPS. Anyone have feedback if they had more entry level corals or ones with more rarity + $$$

I think there was a very good variety. I didn’t look at the SPS but a lot of the zoas were 6 or 7 frags for $100. Torches and Hammers I saw cheap $20-$35 up to $500. Pretty much every vendor I spoke to had options for both
