Hi fellow saltwater enthusiasts. The Central Oklahoma Marine Aquarium Society, COMAS, www.mycomas.com, is having its first annual Oklahoma City Conference for Reef Aquarists and Saltwater Enthusiasts(CRASE). This will be a single day event and will comprise keynote lectures by Dr. Ron Shimek and Mr. Steve Tyree, both of whom are distinguished speakers in the area of saltwater aquariums. In addition the President of COMAS Dr. Paul Whitby will be discussing fragmenting corals.
There will be a coral fragging demonstrationa and hands on workshop: In this workshop we will show you how to prune corals, how to mount them for the best growth and effect and also what tools you will require. We will supply everything you will need. The frags you make will be available purchase at minimal cost.
People attending this informal workshop will be shown how to make and mount frags of an SPS species, an LPS species as well as soft corals such as leathers and zoanthids. Attendance is free and you do not have to purchase the frags you make. So come join us, get your hands wet and work on propagating and conservation of corals.
There will also be a hobbyist coral frag sale, vendor and trade displays as well as numerous door prizes. Steve Tyree will also be bringing limited edition corals frag for sale as well. www.craseokc.com

We are inviting everyone in the surrounding states to come. We hope to expand this into a two day event in the next few years. If you have never been to OKC, check out all the things to do. We have revamped our downtown into "Bricktown" with lots of fun things including a canal running through it. Make a whole weekend of it. Edmond is a great place for shopping if you have spouses who don't like the hobby.
Hope to see some of you there! Thanks-
