There are lots of local reef groups, just google around.

More importantly, how do you start off if you don't have anything to trade? I doubt a 6-pack and a pizza are a fair trade for some corals

If you havent already, really look for good local reefers to buy and trade corals with. Much cheaper than stores. I got all the new zoas and palys for 40$.
That's a sweet lookin paly, kind of looks like a reef junkie rainbow. Gotta love the killer freebie's!!! You should get some raptors rainbows to go with those.
