One of the most memorable experiences I have had with this club was the meeting many years ago at Jenkinsons Aquarium with Bob Fenner as a guest speaker. It was a great meeting with a backstage tour of the aquarium, an informative presentation by Bob and being surrounded by good friends. But...

Sitting in front of my reborn reef tank sipping a good beer after a water change! (A Backwoods Bastard, Mike) back when we had the chat sessions I had a reputation for drunk posting on nights like this.

They look cool, reasonably priced, but they got to be a problem! 8) Can't find too much on them other than they must be opportunistic omnivores and have the potential to eat anything. Anyone have practical experience with them? I would like to get some sort of cool invert with a bit of a wow...

Picked up a new magazine at Aquatic Obsessions today called ReefLife. It's the first edition. Looks pretty good. Gotta love a magazine with an article titled "The Perfect Coral: Euphyllia" written by J. Charles Delbeek no less! ;)
