CLOSED: Halloween Photo Contest - Bounce Mushroom Prize

[ActiveAngel]

This contest is completely free and open for supporting members! If you're not an ARC supporting member consider joining, it's well worth it. Every month, we have free prizes, frag-swaps (during non-pandemic times), and give-aways.. plus multiple members that will give you free coral frags just for joining.

For this monthly photo-contest, the subject is Invertebrates! With their long tentacles, many legs, claws, and needle-like stingers, Invertebrates can be some of the creepiest creatures we keep in our tanks. Yet they also can be beautiful, curious, and occasionally overflowing with personality! It's the season of Halloween, so lets do our annual Invertebrate Photo Contest. Please submit your photos of Crabs, Shrimps, Hermits, Snails, Conchs, Urchins, Sea Stars, Cucumbers, Feather Dusters, Worms, or any similar critters (Not included: corals and anemones).

Whichever pic the contest committee likes the most will win. Please vote on photos too; those with the highest votes will have the highest chances of winning.


This contest will conclude on Halloween night, October 31st (11:59pm).
The prize will be a frag of baby Dragon Lady Bounce Mushroom! Donated by @FutureInterest

His taste for blood is insatiable! The creature cannot be stopped until his ravenous taste for the bounce mushroom prize is satisfied! With your likes we can put this creature to rest...... until next Devils day.
