Happy Valentines Day from CapitveReefs. The photo contest this month is Amore Reefs...take a photo of the livestock you love the most and enter it. You may enter up to one each coral, fish, and invert that you love the most...for a total of 3 entries!

To enter you will need to add your photo entry to the applicable CR Showcase forum:
Coral Collector Forum (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/coral-collector/)
Fish Finder Forum (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/fish-finder/)
Invert Index (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/invert-index/)

Be sure to select the Amore Reefs from the drop down when you start your thread. When you enter your photo in one of the above forums, you must also complete the thread fields to the best of your knowledge. Completion of the fields will be taken into accounts when choosing the finalists.

If you want a little more information on how to add your corals to one of the showcase forums, here is a tutorial (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/site-issues-feedback/how-use-showcase-forums-coral-collector-video-17333/).

This month's prize is a chalice frag pack donated by Pacific East Aquaculture (http://www.pacificeastaquaculture.com).

The photo below is a representative frag pack and not necessarily the exact package that will be awarded. (The winner will be responsible for shipping costs, however may combine the prize with other items if they wish to offset shipping.)
