Gatortailale May 8, 2004 Share May 8, 2004 Greetings to all, We still have weekend positions open for any hobbyists or aspiring hobbyists who would like to learn more. Don't exclude yourself based on experience, we will train. This part time position is also ideal for students who want to make extra spending money but don't want to give up all of their spare time. If your interested, bring in your work history or a resume. If you have any questions about the position give us a call or drop us an e-mail. WHAT'S NEW New fish faces in the store include; the Harlequin Bass ( http://www.marinescene.com/detail.asp?id=2756 )Seven Banded Wrasse and the Brazilian Royal Gramma. The Harlequin Bass has a fancy black and white pattern. The Gramma looks like the standard Royal Gramma except his mouth is shaped a little differently and the color of his tail is closer to orange than the usual yellow. The Wrasse is a rare find with a lot of personality. Other interesting fish now in stock are the tiger goby and the Rosy Blenny. These little guys are difficult to find and do very well in nano reefs. We have an extra large red Finger sponge available. This sponge would make a great addition to a large reef. Last but not least I need to mention all the new corals in the store. We received not one, but two coral shipments this week. We currently have a nice variety of corals. Amongst the new comers you will see multi-colored Hammer corals, Long Tentacle Plate corals, a green Pipe Organ, and my favorite a large pink Stylophora. WHAT'S ON SALE If you haven't checked out our little library you may be missing a few new additions. All books are 10% off this weekend. Several corals will be marked down this weekend. Keep your eyes open for these good deals. Many of our Lobophyllia corals are 20% off. Take 10% off a variety of other corals including a couple of Meat corals, a nice Fire coral and a Sea Plume. DID YOU KNOW? Did you know that corals can "fight" with each other? Most corals have some means of aggression and or defense. Several large polyp stony corals are able to form "sweeper" tentacles that can reach up to a foot away to sting a competing coral. A few examples are Bubble, Galaxy, and Brain corals. Hammer, Frogspawn and Torch corals are also very strong stingers. Soft corals such as leathers will secretly release toxic compounds into the water around them to ward off encrusting or competing corals. So the next time you purchase a coral be aware of it's aggression level and place it in the tank accordingly. Try to prevent corals from touching each other. As you well know, we all need our own personal space. Is your reef tank really a coral battle ground? I'm looking forward to a sunny weekend. If you plan to stop by on Sunday, be aware that the repaving of the parking lot will be taking place and you will not be able to park directly in front of the shop. Enjoy the weather and don't forget about MOM on Sunday, gift certificates make great gifts and so do corals and fish and shrimp and crabs and snails and sponges and anemones and............. Have a good one. -Kristen Lau The Marine Scene Assistant Manager Retail Sales 293 Sunset Park Drive Herndon, Virginia 20170 703.689.2815 www.marinescene.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
