We brought back so many awesome fish and corals from California! Hand picked zoanthids, brains, plates, yellow colt corals, pink colt corals, rainbow rbtas, maxi-minis, and so much more! Still arriving this week are Aquacultured Acropora direct from Walt Smith in Fiji and hand picked Aquacultured Maximas, Croceas, and Hippopus clams!

This weekend is going to be awesome! I hope you can make it!

See you at the Studio!
