[northbay-reefer]

OK, the right answers are:

1, a
2, d

We have a three way tie I am going to have to put up another set of questions to decide the winner.

On another note: Just so you know, we've purchased a couple of very nice colonies of sps that we will be fragging up for the club's raffle in our next meeting. The more tickets you have the more chance you will win one of these beauty. I see a lot of people lurking but not participating, come on now don't be shy. Your participation at different level is what make our club fun and stay as a tight knit group of friends.

Very very close soneone can still sneak in with the perfect answer and walk away with the prize

 

[woodnaquanut]

Wow, we have one tough judge here!

I think AMAYEU has it with the small change that the bonus is really the adult Mimic LP Tang.

AMAYEU deserves the prize. He even found the pages that had the pics Tom used!!

Very sneaky, Oh great and powerful quiz master! Using the pic w/ the LA watermark was very sneaky! I did notice the example fish had much less density in it's vertical bars.

Great minds think alike. Some just type faster!
