Here's my nerd-out: Sea urchin started spewing milky stuff; I grabbed my microscope and observed all the sperm cells swimming about and made my mother-in-law look.

I grew up in Palm Beach county so plenty of time at the beach, one day when I was about 6 or 7 I turned over a rock and saw what I thought was a starfishes arm. Nope giant bristle worm, found out the hard way they are a don't touch item lol.

You’re not a real reefer until you’ve been bitten by those little jerks that most people call clownfish!

... a dead fish in the shipment from the on-line retailer OR discovered that the frags you ordered from an on-line retailer are less than half of the size you had expected to receive and that they were nowhere near the coloration in the retailer's photos.

[steveschuerger]

You go to a live sale and promise yourself not to go too crazy. Sees that coral you’ve always wanted and goes into debt for it.

My new midas blenny is getting it's yellow color nicely after being shipped to me. What a fun fish to watch. It has it's little hole(s) that he lives in. One of the funniest things I have ever seen is this little dude backing his rear end into his hole in reverse. It got me thinking, what are some of the best specific sights that earn you a real reefing badge? I also really enjoy watching my tuxedo urchin, we have a family rule to not look directly at it because "he's hiding" and it would hurt his feelings.
