[Rick, I was so busy Sunday afternoon! Right before noon, I went with Kip to the zero-clearance tank to see what Walt Smith stuff was available. That was about the time "The WB" started filming for a television spot. Gavin was bagging up two large orders (12 to 15 pieces each) and we had to wait forever. It was only after Anthony got his box that I found out he bought my little Golden Maxima clam, the one on the side of the Acropora. :very angry: Oh well, I'm sure he'll take good care of it.
I had to go man the MASNA booth for a while during lunch, but after about 10 minutes I realized I had to check out and get my stuff into the luggage closet. Then I met up with several people and headed out to the tent to get some pictures of Dr Mac's pieces. I ended up getting 4 pieces there. Then back up to Gavin to get 2 more.
I got to attend the workshop because Kip had bought two tickets, so I used one of his. I'm going to base our workshop on that one because it was excellent. I brought home 3 or 4 frags from that workshop, all SPS.
I blew off the raffle - partially because the price per ticket annoyed me and partially because I really don't need anything at this point. So you didn't see me there. I was all over the place until 5:30pm. At that point, I took the shuttle to the AA terminal for my 7:15pm flight. My corals were checked as luggage, and as you read above - they did fine.
I almost bought one of the Teardrop Clams from Vietnam, but the mantle was wrinkled and I just didn't trust it. At $75, it just seemed to big a gamble. I'll get a new clam from Barry in the near future.
Post some pictures of your new acquisitions, please. :smart:]
Im not going to be able to make the meeting though,, but you can see the sample at the fish galery,, the far end of their SPS tank, their is 2 of my pieces their ,, bright yellow, their lights are turning it green though,,, lemme try this photobucket pic..
