Member participation time everyone.

Anthony Calfo has graciously agreed to add another subject to the April meeting presentation, a coral rescue workshop. He will supply the tools, and will give a workshop on coral salvaging (checking your local lfs regarding receding/damaged corals. Offering to rescue it for a reduced price, etc. and take it home). Within this presentation, he will show fragging techniques for various corals.

Here's where we are looking for member participation. He wants about 12 various damaged corals to frag. So if anyone has that chalice that ended up getting an acan echinata fall on it and killing a section, or that branching hammer that got the dreaded brown jelly disease and took out a few heads, etc. Anything that is damaged and you would like to frag and save the good part, PM an officer by Friday 04/09/10. The more different corals we get, the better.

Maybe even get a headstart on the workshop and hit up your lfs locally and get a damaged coral at a discounted price, and bring it to the meeting. C'mon CORA members...........lets see what ya got that needs saving.
