Got too many to count lol.
Ended up with one of the Dragon soul colonies from the auction, and also picked up a Trachy, a scoly, a baby crocea clam, 4 or 5 different favias, a couple acans, some zoas and 2 unknown corals. Ill try and get some pics once the lights are all on

Our tank is starting to fill up so we kept it simple this year. We got a nice piece of wall hammer, a clam, and some gorgonians. We also got the GC for Aquatic Art in the auction. I’m glad Rob was able to out together a great silent auction for Reef and we were able to support them!

It was good to catch up with some people for sure. Honnestly it was a great show but made me realize how lucky we are. How awesome our local vendors (aquatic art for me) are and how much they spoil us with quality pieces at unbelievable prices. I ended up with a og holy grail torch, Malaysian gold torch, cotton candy torch and ultra firefly torch out of reefstock this year. I bid up a few pieces in the auctions to make sure they went over face value

I did pick up some interesting corals. After talking to multiple vendors and volunteering, you realize the hobby shows have really suffered to some extent because of the rise of online sales. Maybe I am just picky when it comes to finding interesting things, but there was a lot of coral there that I had felt I had seen before. Usually, my reasoning for going to shows is to find things I *haven't* seen before, or seen in a very long time, and so I did end up taking some nice pieces home that I had never seen before in the hobby. This included a specific type of Anthelia, a specific type of what I think is green Alveopora, Halymenia Stipitata, some solid green zoanthus that have the shape and appearance of magicians but are solid green, and a few acropora, and a red with gold tip cycloseris.

Overall I enjoyed the show and I felt it was larger than last year, but also, seeing what people are growing out and selling made me come to appreciate what I already have quite a bit more than prior to the show. The next step for me as far as finding unique things that I enjoy is probably going to involve travelling to more shows and networking with people, and buying a lot less coral, spending more time finding them in the first place.

I think that's actually pretty enjoyable, like a scavenger hunt.

Totally agree with Craig, it was great to catch up with some folks I haven’t seen in years in some cases.

Amazing choices.....

Who else has shots from what they picked up?

 

[N1tew0lf1212]

Here are the acans few things that are similar but differ in color during solid blues. These shots had white light at its peak. Also traded some stuff with @IUFan and was able to get him some of @Dr.DiSilicate acros again thanks for letting me snag some pieces for him.

Angel the red one is Darth Maul porites

 

[SynDen]

Thanks. I was thinking it was a Porites but wasn't sure.

@Visualsnow Good haul. I see you also picked up some of the Dragon tongue macro from Hong. I like it. I just hope my caulerpa does over run it and kill it off. Would be a good one to see grow out to a large plant

Yeah Hong had a lot of neat stuff. The alveopora was also from him as well as a really interesting Anthelia but I need to move the Anthelia -- It appears to be in too much flow right now so I didn't take a photo.

 

[scchase]

Easiest growing Alveopora there is and if I remember the coral right I think the Anthelia is actually Cespitularia if it is the same one I was looking at

I really gotta pick up the 3 piece reef books that Julian had out. I should have bought them immediately, but I waddled.
