    Not too bad. Enjoyable day but a long one. About 8 hours total drive time, but well worth it.

    Thanks it was a good road trip. The tear drop maxima is about 5" and the derasa is almost 8". They were also giving out bags with samples in them. And I left with 3 free t-shirts. My wife said we should go again next year. :thumb_up:

    Great score! The 5 dollar SPS from the guy also selling 5 dollar stars and 10 dollar fist sized zoa colonies? Looks like you made out pretty cheap for the adds you got! Congrats!

    No I dont think I got them from the guy with the $5 starfish. There were a couple of vendors selling small $5 frags. I didnt intend on buying any frags I mainly just went for clams.

    Ah, cool. Yeah, I saw lots of people selling 5 dollar chunks, was just curious. I thought that guy had some really cool pieces for 5 bucks, but they were all fresh cuts so I was worried.
