Not sure what all the names are but I grab a Jack o lantern Leptoseris, green monti, I think a Superman monti, but it looks like it was bleaching out so he gave it to me for $5. Rasta Zoa, I think the other zoa is a bam bam.

I'll be going to Lancaster the 28th. I'm over in White Haven too. I'll be setting up a little 6 gallon frag tank. I have probably 50 or so frags to bring. Some zoas, frogspawns, and hammers.

Hey there! Located in the West Chester PA area so right up the street! lol ... Welcome! Not sure about local frag swaps.. I know Delco has a "Aquarium Society" /club that meets once a month. I believe if you google search "DCAS" (Delaware County Aquarium Society) you should find results. Other than that... the number of quality LFS in our area has really depleted over the years... I know a few that I still trust are Fish Factory and The Hidden Reef (not the hidden reef for fish anymore sadly but for corals they are good). The Fish Factory and Hidden Reef are located in Levittown (just a short trip up the turnpike like 40 mins). There is a place in Malvern / Frazer that is amazing for corals, Aquarium Specialties is the name. Mike the owner is very knowledgeable and takes pride in his selection and livestock. Also, if he doesnt have something you are looking for he is more than willing to order it for you! (Feel Free to PM me if you have any questions or want to chat! I'm always looking for fish buddies local in the area lol! )

I agree, Mike at Aquarium Specialties and Research Center is awesome. He has a great selection and is more than happy to order something for you. He is also very willing to stop and talk to you and answer any questions you may have. It is my number one go to place.

Hello All,

I'm new to the hobby and looking for local places/people to buy frags from or any clubs that might be in the area to connect with. Anyone in the area?

Hey Steve, I am right in Havertown. I have been in the hobby for years. I had a fresh water tank for about 20 years and converted it to salt. I had the same tank for about 25 years before it sprung a leak. I broke it down and sold off most of my stuff after my twins were born.
I am just now getting back into the hobby and love this forum. There are A LOT of very knowledgeable people here that love to help and answer questions.

Where in Delco are you located?
