What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ok, over the next couple of days I’ll be posting music with a certain theme. First one to identify it gets a free frag of Raja Rampage chalice. Pick up only.
 
Just found a sea hare for 31$ including shipping from saltybottomreef. Is that a good place to buy from?
Absolutely, I bought mine from my lfs for $30. They get their shipments in on Tuesdays and there are no sea hares by Friday.

How does there shipping and price limit work?

Can you call some of your local lfs’s and ask them to order you one so you don’t have to pay shipping fees. Mine orders me what ever I ask for?
 
Good morning peeps!

Kevin I was thinking about adding a plating monticap. How hard ate they to keep at bay once they start growing?

They're like potato chips, super easy to break! They are not hard to contain at all. You just break a little piece off.
 
Okay, so never in a million years would I have thought that I would get hit in the face by a flying firefish, but I guess there is a first for everything.

If you don’t mind fragging, easy. They are like potato chips, very brittle. I’ll try to frag a nice chunk to glue to a frag plug and end up with 5 small pieces. Jennifer picked up a beautiful one at TSA that was half red and half green, absolutely gorgeous. If I had to do it again I would get one of those!

Hope you are ok, but

Hi everyone hope it was a good day for everyone. Its been a crazy busy day both at work then after work. My mother in law isn't doing well so we went to visit her at the nursing home after work. Now I'm home and heading to bed but wanted to check in on you guys. @fishguy242 that is amazing news and I'm so happy the doctors got it all early!
