This month's meeting features the hugely anticipated Frag Event!
The ORCA Frag Event is held 4 times a year. This popular gathering allows reefers to share their success with other reef hobbyists. Many of ORCA's members have become hugely successful in growing soft, hard and stony corals. Coral reproduction in the modern reef aquarium has become easier with the increased knowledge people have and the advances in reefing equipment. It's now easier than ever before to not only keep these delicate animals alive but to also raise and grow these animals to such size that they actually require pruning to make room for other corals to grow.
ORCA members frag their overgrowth and special corals they wish to share with their fellow hobbyists and bring them to these quarterly events. To see what's in store for this coming Saturday's event, please check out the ORCA Frag Event Forum hosted by ORCA's Frag Director Skinny Joe at the Frag Event Forum. Check back often for updates.
Please note that ORCA requires that any frags brought to this event be free and clean of unwanted pests and parasites. If you have "œRed Bug", "œPlanaria", "œFlatworms" or any other unwanted parasites in your tank please do not bring your corals to this event. Members who knowingly bring infected corals to this event will be dealt with accordingly.
ORCA does not condone nor support the commercial farming or commercial aqua culturing of live corals by anyone without proper licensing. For questions regarding Florida laws on Aqua culturing please see the following Web Sites:
