SLASH Coral Growing Contest: ORA Grube's Gorgonian

[Reeferhead]

Contest Start Date: 18OCT14
Contest End Date: 17APR15

- Frags must be picked up from me at the Fall Swap by the actual participant, no exceptions.

- Contest period is 6 months.

- All participants are required to post growth shots every 2 months.

- This will be a CDP transaction so all the normal CDP rules apply.

- I will make 10 frags. Post in the CDP thread for this coral to claim your frag. Posting in this RC thread or PMing me will not get you in the contest.

- If I receive more than 10 requests before 9/28/14 preference will go to those members with highest number of total CDP donations. If you do not make the cut please check with me at the swap to see if there are any unclaimed frags.

- This coral is a ridiculously fast grower and very hardy but doesn't take over a tank like GSP or Xenia. Very easy to frag and share. Perfect for newbies and veterans a like.

- The picture above is from when I first bought it about 8 months ago. It's much much larger now and has quickly become my favorite gorg. I'll try to get an updated picture posted in the next few days.

Looks like nine requests to participate so far, which is somewhat surprising, as I thought most reefers would be scared to go up against the Gorg Growing King - Tradewinds.

Their a brave bunch, I'll give them that.
