Went to a swap earlier today, didn't come away with a ton of pieces but got a few cool ones... What the grower calls Yellow Fuzzy Tenuis(looking green now, but was neon yellow), a nice chunk of PC Rainbow(pic doesn't do it justice, way more colorful at different angles ) , and what the guy called Mango Melon Milli(you can see hints of its nice coloration) .

All but 2 of the 30 or so corals in my tank are from 2 swaps and 1 local guy who runs his business out of his basement. Wojtek for anyone in Chicago. He's Lps heavy but has awesome stuff and his place is nicer that any lfs around.

I don't buy online, so I was lucky to find my guy since almost all the lfs suck imo. Then I discovered some swaps were happening near by and went. It really is the best way to shop corals as far as I'm concern. Tons of vendors in one place with far better prices than usual, and you can haggle. I only payed asking price for the tenuis, and it was already only 35 bucks.

Speaking of which it allowed me to see corals in person that I'd usually only see online. It only strengthened my resolve to buy in person.
