We had a blast with helping and attending. We won the three day full passes to MACNA in DC which is awesome becasue we had not purchased tickets yet, looks like we will be going now. It was awesome seeing a bunch of vendors face to face again and picking out some wonderful corals and a fish...
Ok those are the more "normal" chalice colonies out there. The top one is a miami hurrican that has been around forever and is aquaculutred by mostpeople at this point. This is good news because it is less finicky than a wild caught piece. It also grows like a weed so it is a great starter...
