a few of my LPS

[hobogato]

some of these are new - local shop was clearing them out because they are gonna close.

got this one for my B-day this week

 

[hobogato]

have had these for a while

these are so bright, i had to use a very short exposure to make em look right - hence, everything else is too dark

 

[Coderabit2]

Those are gorgeous!

 

[mikekman]

NICE LPS, the neon green candy canes are beautiful and the chalice is unbelievable!:eek1: :eek1: :eek1:

 

[All Delight]

Yah that chalice is awesome!

 

[js_bass]

those are sweet

 

[K.Sea]

Howdy can someone id the green coral with blue mouths in the picture above the one of the green hammer in the 2nd post for me please?? Also if possible some care requirements thanks in advance.

 

[hobogato]

thanks for the comments all!

K.Sea-
it was sold as Acanthastrea echinata, but i think it may be a favia. in my tank, i have it about in the middle for lighting and medium flow.

 

[Sheol]

Those 2 for-sure Favias are drop-dead gorgeous! What a great deal for you, reminds me of my shell collection in a way. I had a similar streak of luck. CMSC was cleaning out an old storage building on the grounds & let me sort through some old shells left in boxes, some had evidently been in a fire. Well, I got like 95 specimens from that thing.
Now if I could just find a Reef shop going under!

Again, I'm green with envy

PS.
I'd move that purple thing away from that Frogspawn if I were you. It will sting it..

 

[hobogato]

yeah, the frogspawn had fallen there and i didnt notice until i took the pics

$20 each for the ones i got from that lfs - just couldnt pass that up.

Is that black sand in the clam tank?

 

[hobogato]

thanks for all of the comments, yep - it is carib sea tahitian moon black sand. thought it would make the colors of the clams stand out more since it is only viewable from the top.
