We have commitments for fish and inverts. Fish will be a mixed bag of Pacific and Atlantic. Probably a few dwarf angels, basslets, chromis, etc. No big groupers or lionfish. Will post up the week of the event when we know specifically what we will have. Anticipate 20 to 30 fish total.

Inverts are being donated by Frank's Marine out of the Florida Keys. At this time, they have not been collected and quantity and species are not known. At a minimum, there will be astrea snails, blue leg hermit crabs, emerald crabs, serpent stars, etc. Again, will post up the week of the show when we know what is coming.

Frank's Marine will also have two special auction items. Once the final dates and details are worked out, we will post these items. I can tell you that the auction winners will need fins, mask and snorkel!

Make sure you label who's coral it is, what coral it is, and if it is the actual coral for sale (otherwise, I will assume that the auction coral is a frag of the parent colony in the picture)
