ReefGardener.net is a small, well respected coral farm operation in Miami owned by Morgan Moore.

I had placed an order with her last week but before she shipped I was notified that Morgan's warehouse suffered a fire last Friday in which she lost all of her livestock and most of her equipment.

I don't know Morgan personally, but I did want to do a good deed and get the word out in case anyone was in the position to help and had the desire to do so. From her gofundme page:

"Last night the stuff of all reef hobbyists' nightmares happened and there was a fire that destroyed 75% of my business and 100% of all the livestock I was raising. I had 4 large aquariums running with hundreds of corals and several beloved fish that I had had for over 5 years.

Right now, I am simply numb with shock and sadness at this loss and trying to figure out the best way to go forward. I am asking for your assistance with specialized information on how to clean up after a fire (soot, chemical residues, disposal)...and, if you can...to come help me with the clean up process itself.

Most importantly, I need your cash assistance to help to get me by until the farm can generate income again." - Morgan Moore

That’s so sad. I wonder if she supplies ‘Strictly Fish’. They have beautiful livestock and I’m pretry sure they use local sources.
