    Hey everyone! Had a great time I Omaha and seeing those that came and meeting new members. Should have posted earlier but hope everyone dipped or have their corals in quarantine. I saw 2 of those big round brown flatworms on the inside of one of my bags. The kind that lay on top of coral tissue. I dipped my stuff twice. Hope it is ok!

    No flatworms for me, but I had an asterina star. The good kind I think at least but removed it and dipped.

    I hope everyone had a great time. I didn't make it after all. But the last three years I went and it was a good time.

    How was the speaker on wrasses? I really wanted to hear that presentation.

    I got a purple haze monti and 200 gal boxes of Reef crystals for around $37 each. Liked the store. It was nice to see coral displays free of aiptasia, algae and browned out poop frags like in Des Moines.

    The wrasse speaker was fairly drunk by the time he got up to speak so it was a very simplified scientific lesson on the origin of all the wrasses. But then he had some very nice pictures!

    I have been following Lemon for some time. Reading everything I can find of his so it was nice to listen to him speak. I had already read the article in reed builders that he spoke on so it was good listen to him share some of his experiences. It was a pretty relaxed day.
