omg... place was heaven.. absolute heaven, there was so much coral i couldn't even choose what i wanted to buy, and was so happy i forgot to get the reef glue.
he has this chalice that is 300 dollars, it is all grey (small) with an orange a lime green yellow and blue eye... he calls it the lmtd edition pumpkin patch chalice haha
And the SPS there is fantastic! i am so ecstatic.
i had to have my gf restrain me from buying something big.
best part is they have branch rock which no other LFS has which is great, kinda makes me wanna rethink this floating reef but i dont think im gonna i put alot of time into it.
on another... my harlequin shrimp is dead and all gone :( a little rembrence pic of the little guy (pic to right)
anyways i bought a cheaper coral i forgot the name but heres a pic(pic to left)

actually im pretty sure its Cyphastrea
Cyphastrea sounds more reasonable... the polyps (eyes, if it were a chalice) are in too regular of a pattern. I've yet to see a chalice grow eyes with that kind of regularity. In any case, still a nice coral.

Yup. A cyphastrea. A really easy and fast grower.
Good luck!

ok this is the start over!!!! i had bad green hair algae prob, so cleaned the whole tank out removed all crushed coral left the aragonite in it, rinsed scrubbed all live rock. my friend brought over a frag of the xenia, and kenya tree over. pic is of the xenia. i will be getting more corals over time, but going at it slow. i want to get a yellow tang to control green hair as it still is in some of the rock but not much, and i have read thats what tangs like.

well i shouldent say they fund it. i work with my dad and thats pretty much how they pay me when i need or want some thing most if the time they are there for me, it must be tough being a freshman in college and to spend that much im into my 29g for about a grand now
