This is Michigans biggest swap!! It is centrally located in the state and brings everyone together to Meet in the Middle!! We have about 300+ admissions each year and raffle off some cherry corals and other prizes.

Looking for some sweeeet stuff in the MMMC Swap raffle this weekend in Michigan?
Here are some of the corals that will be raffled off at the MMMC 2011 Swap (just the large scolys, donuts, meat corals, not the smaller frag plugs in the pics):

and a Duncan donation from BKS709, thanks Brian!

Here is one of my treasures from the swap....a beautiful rock anemone, red, orange, green & white. This came from the Tropicorium after much discussion with Dick Perrin, a pioneer in reefing history. This is an incredibly colored rock anemone! Dick has indicated that he has 14 more at the store. Dick is known for originating domestic coral propagation in the nation if not the first in the world. He was instrumental in the marine/reef aquarium hobby!

I was very happy for the opportunity to get this one as it was the only one like it at the swap. While it was a bit over my budget, it is now one of the most notable corals in my tank.

Another hidden treasure......I got this one with all it's polyps closed up and looking ugly. The seller advissed that it was their best zoas, the last frag available, and that I woul be surprised at how good it was. Well, I took home glued it on a plug and went to bed. The next morning it appeared that the sun was shining in my tak!!!! Sunny D's!!
