If you have Never Been to a Frag Swap Before Check out this Video from a previous swap to get an idea of all the fun that you will have
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nanVWZhUuzw Vendors from around the country come to sell coral (much of which are the amazing brightly colored corals that you see online). It is also a great way to meet old friends and make new friends that are in the hobby. You will find the hottest Zoanthids, Acros, Acans, Chalices, Mushrooms, etc. all at great prices!

To anyone who hasn't been to a swap before let me take a moment of your time. Last year I attended this swap (my first time to any swap), and I had a fantastic time. Every last person I interacted with, both the venders and volunteers were friendly, upbeat and very happy to help with any questions I had. If you are on the fence about going, hop on over,you will not regret. The deals and selection are amazing! Bring cash, a cooler and time because you will get lost in all that is the Michigan Coral Expo & Swap.

Went to last years.....
Imagine if you will endless rows of frag tanks containing every possible exotic variant of zoa, paly, shroom, acan, etc. All in A+ health and for prices that will put your LFS store out of business. The Lansing swap is usually pretty busy, but it's a great crowd. |

A Few Frag Swap Tips for Both Newbies and Veterans
1. Don't Forget Cash. Some Vendors will Take Credit Cards, but Others are Cash Only (Even if a Vendor Accepts Credit Card They Will Prefer Cash Because They Will Not Have to Pay Credit Card Fees). 2. Bring a Small Portable Cooler to Store the Corals that you Bought In. 3. Doors Open at 12:00 Noon and the Swap Ends at 4:30 PM 4. Be Aware of How Much Time You Take Talking to a Vendor if what Your Discussing Doesn't Involve Buying Something. Vendors are Very Helpful and Knowledgeable and Most Will Try to Help You, but Please be Conscious of the Fact that Vendors are There to Sell and Not to Explain How to Rid Your Tank of Nuisance Algae (For Example).

Basically it is a Massive Frag Swap but with A Lot of Out of State Vendors like Jason Fox.
Most Smaller Swaps have Mostly Local Sellers.
