We have a winner in the Unique Corals "Pest" Contest!:wink:
Congrats to emerald525 (Kim), for her amazing, humorous poem, "Ode to Coral Pests"!
Destined to become a true reefer classic, for sure!
Kim will be receiving her PNG Zoa frag via USPS Priority Mail.
THanks so much to EVERYONE who participated! It was fun (and tough) sorting through all of the entries, and we're thrilled to have seen so many reefers get into it!
If you didn't win- not to worry: We have another awesome contest coming up in the next couple of weeks! Stay tuned for details!
Regards,

Here is the poem in its entirety:
Ode to Coral Pests
"When I started in the hobby all fresh and brand new
These mushrooms caught my eye with their lovely shade of blue
Oh blue mushrooms you were such a treasure
Watching you grow gave me such pleasure
But space was limited and you didn't like to share
You just kept killing corals you just didn't care
You stung my favia you stung by blue tort
You stung a montipora like it was some kind of sport
I tried to remove you with tweezers and pluck you all out
But you shrunk down and hid and won the first bout
I shot boiling water injections into your core
I may have won that battle but you won the war
I tried removing the rock hoping you would die
But you lived for months in darkness I don't know why
I tried zapping you with electricity but you still wouldn't go
By now It was clear, you were running this show
So I waved the white flag and gave up the fight
And let you live in my tank just please stay on the right
So live on blue mushroom my stubborn little pest
At least I hope to win a frag in this great coral quest"
