Awesmome people eater purchase!

[FLricordia]

Guess these are RPE. My camera s*#ks and I used flash as they are under 20000k MH which is worst color reproduction with my camera. The faces are more purple and the skirts redder. Got the colony for $60 today at a LRS.

nice pick up for sure..

I love when the LFS don't jack up prices because of names. My LFS would probably charge way more because of the PE name.

Great buy.
Try posting a picture without the flash

2000kMH-no flash

20000k and 6500k combo

6500k

About 5.5 at its waidest. I would guesstimate over 100 polyps. Whether PRPE, RPE, PPRRPE. RPRE, PPPRRREEPPE or whatever, it is one of the nicer buys I have made. The LRS I have dedicated all my purchases has been getting better and better corals in. Aquaria in Pensacola. I am still overwhelmed with the last rock with the 3 different polyps and 2 different shrooms @$50.

its about time lfs start selling corals without jacking the prices. of course, this is a distributor problem too.

Looks good man, I will try and get pictures of my mini colony today.

I counted 243 polyps just from this angle on the rock. all the dots represent one polyp. I was bored and only took me a couple minutes

They were a loose clump is all. I am going to sell off a few to help finance my move though. Hate to do it but the cost of rentals in the area is ridiculously high because of the past hurricanes.
Nice pics Pat. Wish my camera could capture their true colors.
Awesome rics.

 

[cgarsmokr]

those Rics are smokin!

 

[manderx]

don't mean to sound like a downer, but unless it's totally browned out, that color morph is pretty common and $60 for the colony is actually high...
