I just wanted to reach out to my NJ brothers and sisters to invite you up to the Frag Farmers Market this coming March. This is the 11th year of the FFM and it has grown into the biggest single day swap in the country (at least that’s what I’ve been told). Over 60 coral vendors from all over the place makes the ride up to CT worth it. I also have a special rate with one of the hotels nearby so just let me know if you need the specifics for that. If you guys need any other info or have questions, just let me know!
Thanks-
Jon

Thanks for the good word. It is a TON of work to get together but I love to get everyone to come to "my house" for the day!

It is a haul for you guys to come up for the day but you won't be disappointed. There are more corals at the FFM than at any other event that I have ever been to!

If you haven't been to this in the past years it's definitely something to check out. A high school turned into a giant frag swap. Vendors in classrooms, vendors in the hallways, CORALS EVERYWHERE.

Name_that_Coral_Poster_Small.jpg

Here is the contest that is associated with the FFM this year- thanks to Lou from Tropic Marin! I have three corals that need names (so I can charge twice as much for them when I sell them...). I am not looking for the scientific names, something a little more fun! Here are quick descriptions of each to compensate for my poor photography skills:

Coral #1 is a Neon green Leptoseris (maybe?) with a purpleish growth rim

Coral #2 is a Light, mint green Acropora with big "bulby" coralites

Coral #3 is a deep purple Rhodactis mushroom with neon green fringing tentacles

Email your names to me with the subject "2018 FFM Coral Name Entry" by Thursday March 1st to be considered. Winners will be announced on the FB page. Winners MUST pick up their salt buckets at the FFM on March 3rd- just another reason to go to the biggest event on the East Coast! Thanks to Lou Elkus and Tropic Marin for sponsoring this FFM contest!

It has come to my attention that people may not have the correct email for the "Name that Coral" contest- the email is swansonjL <-- that is an L not a 1 in the email address (swansonjL not swansonj1). Whoever is at swansonj1 is probably VERY confused about the emails he has been getting!
Entries have been trickling in, keep em coming - this is free Tropic Marin salt that you could win here!
