Upcoming Events

NORE hosts monthly meetings, workshops, and special events throughout the year. Below is what’s coming up next — we’d love to see you there.

Coral Fragging Workshop

Cut it. Glue it. Grow it.

Ready to get hands-on?

Join us for an interactive workshop focused on coral fragging, propagation, and the tools and techniques reefers use to grow and share coral. Whether you’ve never fragged before or already have a drawer full of glue and bone cutters, this session is designed to be approachable, practical, and reef-focused.

We’ll be talking methods, materials, best practices, and lessons learned — along with plenty of discussion and live demonstrations.

And the best part? You’ll get to frag coral yourself and take your freshly mounted coral home with you.

Come learn, ask questions, and see what goes into turning one coral into many.

We’re heading back to Missing Falls for one of our best events of the year – the NORE Reef Auction

If you’ve never been to one of our auctions… you’re missing out. This is where deals happen. Corals, fish, gear – all moving fast, all priced to sell.

We’ve made a few changes this year to keep things moving and make it even better:

Sellers limited to 15 lots (bundle them up)
Faster pace, better flow
Bigger opportunity to score deals
