2. Frags must be checked in by 7:15 PM
3. Using a Black Sharpie marker or pre-printed waterproof label, mark clearly the frag description. What’s written on the bag must be what’s in the bag. Correct polyp count etc. Do not misidentify the frag.
4. Do not bring any more than three (3) of any one specific type of coral.
5. If we receive multiple complaints from members regarding any one member who’s bringing frags to auction there will be an investigation and action taken by the Board.
6. Do not bring Fish to the frag auction.
*** Deceiving or taking advantage of fellow hobbyists will not be tolerated.
If you have known parasites like Flatworms (planaria) or Red bug (Tegastes acroporanus) in your aquarium please refrain from bringing any frags to the auction. Please respect your fellow hobbyists and only contribute healthy pest free animals.
