im lookin at my first lps purchase.

my LFS gots new stuff. i saw PINK HAMMER, normal green frogspawn and a 3" blue lobo brain.

i really want the brain, but worry about my inexperience.

like the pink hammer, because ive never seen it before.

the green looked kinda torn, had white at the base.

whadda yall think? i want some advice before i buy anything.

also, there are some really sweet candy canes, but....
they have this red algae on the rock with them. can i expect my clean up crew to take care of it, or wold i just be introducing a problem to my tank?

should i dip these things?

any LPS protocall advice would be great
 
dip? in what?...most likely any dip would kill corals. as for the corals themselves ive never seen a pink hammer coral and i work in the trade so id nab it if it looks healthy but they need strong lighting do you have halides? as for the others the algae should be fine if your clean up crew will get at it also you can scrub it off with a soft brush as long as you dont scrub the actual coral. and for the dead or white parts dont buy the coral unless its half off and your willing for a risk of it not healing.
