I'm always curious what corals/hardware people get when they go to shows like this. Especially considering the great deals some vendors have. I normally go late Sunday because many vendors are trying to offload as much as they can before making the trek home. But this year I decided to go early Saturday. Glad I did because I managed to nab a 3 branch RR Pink Floyd for a good deal. Always wanted this coral in my tank! :)

I remember, YEARS ago, it was late Sunday and guy tried to sell me a 8 inch bright yellow/gold hammer for ~300-400. I think it was originally listed for ~600+. He went all the way down to 200 and I wasn't even trying to bargain! He really wanted to get rid of it. At the time, I had no idea how special it was and am still kicking myself for not nabbing that one.

Anyway, this year I went a little nuts and came home with 23 frags and a clam. Ramen noodle soup will be my primary intake for awhile lol. Here is some stuff I got:

I went alittle overboard as well, only planned on a couple frags and walked away with 9.
RR Pink Floyd, RR Shazam, RRC Black Sabbath, CB Malefocent, Big R Candyland, RR Cherrybomb, Greg Hiller Aqua Delight, ARC Fireworks and one they called Ice Fire Monster which is a nice little smooth skin.

I went overboard as well. Rmf candyland, asd milli, angry birds, vivid's confetti, hot mama milli, misdemeanor milli. Cb malificent.

Although I regret the angry bird. It was a tiny cheapish (for an Angry bird) frag and I noticed some white at the base. I hesitated, then went for it on impulse. It rtn'd overnight... I should have trusted my first instinct. Other than that, everyone else is happy.

I also got an unknown Monti at the birthday giveaway yesterday. I just happened to be standing next to the booth when they announced it, so I got lucky.

Lots of nice corals there but I only left with two frags from fraghouse. He had a very small selection but a good selection. A lot of the pieces I was interested in was already sold to another vendor. My priority was to get a new tank made. I should be getting my crystal dynamics tank delivered in 4-6 weeks.
Not much information on the two frags I got from fraghouse. One is called f2m chrome illusion and the other is f2m quasar. I couldn’t find a picture of the quasar anywhere online. But the chrome illusion I did find some pictures of it. This is the picture of chrome illusion I found.

Frag house was awesome. He had awesome corals and great prices on sunday. I picked up a vivid's confetti from him. I also got a couple of Millie's, which I think he named himself, but they looked pretty. Misdemeanor milli and hot mama milli. I haven't found any other pictures online.

He had a pretty pickachu for $40 I was really tempted to get, but I already have a pink Floyd, which looks almost the same.

Please let me know when you’re able to make a frag of that confetti.
