To support the local reef club, I have been donating some corals in LIRA meetings for a while, but I still keep receiving emails, instant messages, and phone calls asking questions and details. Sorry I do not have enough time to respond one by one, and I am trying to use this thread to answer the questions, and list all the free corals and items which I will donate before each meeting.
Long Island Reef Association (LIRA) holds their monthly meeting on the first Friday of each month at my office located at

The meeting starts by 8pm with a special invited speaker, auctions for the donated corals by members will be followed after the seminar. After that, free tickets for drawing the winners of free corals will be given to each attendee. Here is how it works,
- The winning numbers will be assigned with a sequence number starting from 1 to 20 depending on the number of available items. Each winner will be called and choose the free items by their sequence number.
- Each family will only be allowed to have one item even more than one sequence numbers are received.
- Items chosen will be for the use of your own tanks only, not for resale or gift to others. If you do not find any suitable item, please leave the opportunity to other attendees.
- Sometimes more winning sequence numbers than the available items will be drawn; winners of higher numbers for free corals are not guaranteed.
- I reserve the right to decide which corals to be given basing on your tank, equipment, experience, and the need of other winners. I reserve the right for final decision, winners of draw are not always guaranteed for free corals.
- Those who do not win the draw still can wait and talk to me your need after all the winners have picked their items, I will see what I can do, but again, no guarantee.
