It is amazing to watch how new generations of clones of these captive raised corals adapt to captivity. Sally Jo has taken well over thirty thousand pictures during the last eleven months. By carefully cataloging these pictures on over one hundred CDs we are able to find pictures of each coral as it grows and changes from week to week. During the coming semester we will share many more of Sally Jo's photos. We have appreciated the e-mail from those of you who have written expressing your gratitude for the large desktop pictures. One of the projects that we hope to do during the next year is a series of photographs showing as many of the species as we can identify. There are a group of sps corals that we are growing that we have not been able to identify, and soon we will post pictures of these mystery corals. We hope that if we are able to post several pictures of each species that some of our readers may be able to help us with the identification. We're getting very excited about our upcoming coral farming seminar 2000. One of our speakers is Mr. Steve Tyree and we are certain that he will be able to give us the proper species names for many of our Acropora. The coral farming seminar 2000 will be held in Boise Idaho on the weekend of October 21st and 22nd. At this time there are several spaces available if your interested in attending the seminar, but please contact our office soon because we will be sold out soon. We are very proud to announce that we will have guests returning to the United States from both Italy and Israel. If you are planning on attending Coral Farming 2000 please call 800-600-6163 and tell my sister Sharon that you would like to reserve a space. Because so many of you have so kindly purchased our Reef JanitorsTM, GrungeTM , and corals we have been able to keep the low-price for attending the entire weekend event. I am certain that you will find out, as many people have in the past, that $50 spent attending a GARF coral farming seminar is money very well spent. There will probably be more coral farmers gathered in Boise Idaho in late October to share information with you than at any other event you may attend. We are very excited to find out that many of the hobbyists, who have always been a welcome at our seminars, are now engaged in some form of commercial coral farming.

Many of the rare corals are offered to our members for 2 years before they are put on sale. We will soon have an E-mail list that will list the rarest color forms of sps corals and soft corals such as Xenia and Mushrooms. |
