If she didn't then buyer beware, she should have done her due diligence and known that he was damaged goods with this whole pursuit of corals thing. Or maybe he gave her a frag of Emma's Jedi Mind Trick!

Mark you gotta see his tank in person to fully appreciate it. His colors are awesome! Not to mention he's a gracious host and I even left with gifts!

I'm down to two tanks, The display and my shallow tank I took off the QT tank that was connected to the shallow.

She was asking about a conspiculatus a couple days ago though

BTW Ian, there was a declivis at a lfs for $250 today

Asking like "Mark, you're not still thinking about getting that expensive fish are you?

On another note, we need to get Big Dan Dub to roll with the CBL on Saturday

She was asking what size I was thinking of getting and how she really likes the coloration

CBL, Is that still around I did see an Immo recently for sale I have no problem with Dan rolling with us on Sat. The more fish nerds the better.

I guess Dan just needs to make up his mind if he is going or not

What the…leave for a few hours and bandits take over! Crazy talk about nippers and such. Conspiculatus…declivis…reefers living on the edge. BTW what is the CBL? Canadian Basketball League? And what’s an Immo? It’s like a Twilight Zone episode, I’ve stepped into someone else’s thread.

Maybe I'll just abandon my thread and post over here for awhile
The Immo is the Orange Immolation chalice, THE CBL is the coral blocking league. That is what I was told by another reefer when I told him that I was not going to frag a couple corals right after I had just sent him a box a few weeks before.

Maybe that would give my thread some street cred. CBL that's too funny. What’s surprising to me is how some people see the photos and assume that you are selling frags and when you say “Sorry, it’s not for sale.” they get upset as if they have a right to a frag. I’m all for sharing but I would also like for the tank to grow out and like to have some say on where the frags go. BTW I'm in for Saturday but can only stay for a little while, my son's got an afternoon game and lunch is on me.

Thats good news Dan. We should be able to get into a little bit of trouble before you need to take off.
As for the CBL.... I guess I can tell you how I really feel on Sat in person

Which one is that, Dan? There are just too many dang corals that look alike nowadays.

All's fair in love and coral growing. I just hope that after I add the females I don't wake up and see this in the morning.
