So I swapped my ugly slipper lobster, my thieving decorator crab (kept the spider one though, he just wears leaves) and my nudibranch to a guy in my local reef club yesterday for some frags! Most of them are zoas, but there are a couple I don't know anything about, so thought I'd check here first! Here are some pics!
He called this one cocos and said it's an encrusting coral. It has a hint of pink in it. Will it open up or is this all it does? He also said it spreads fast so I've got it on a nekkid rock that needs something.
What are these?
and will they just look like this or do they open up and get prettier?
what about this one?
I got this Candy Cane almost two weeks ago. When the guy was getting it out of the $5 frag tank, it fell off it's piece of rock, but I got it anyway, because when it was in the tank, it looked really pretty and appeared to be growing new heads. I glued it down to a small rock of mine when I got home and it's never opened up. Is it dead? Is this normal for it to take this long to come out?
I've heard that the $5 frags in this store are just half dead pieces they cut off the big ones that are selling for much more. But I picked out pieces that looked really pretty in the tank, and everything else I've gotten has opened up and seems happy.
and what is this one? It's another $5 frag. This one did take about a week to open up.
Thanks!!!
