He's checking his schedule and then we'll book his flight.

The main reason for this thread was actually to gauge interest for the book. Should he bring some copies of his book along and we could sell it at the meeting?
Or no book collectors (autographed!) in this group?

Quick answer to reeffreak though: different clams have different requirements. Some like it lower and on sand, some like it higher and on rock. I've successfully kept maxima under T5s (lots of them lol)

I have 'Reef Invertabrates' signed by Both Calfo and Fenner. I missed my opportunity a few years back to have my Paletta book signed, so if I could get a signed copy of this book, sure !
