First Corals thanks to URS Frag Swap. Thanks everyone!

[propeine]

Hey guys, I'm sure you dont really need to see more blurry photos of corals but I got some really nice (in my opinion) corals at the frag swap and wanted to say thanks to all I talked to and I wish I had taken some more money. All the pics have only had the white balance messed with. Some are better than others. I'll just post the best embedded and the rest you can go to the album to see if you care.

Not shown in the album, i also picked up some purple deaths, and some bright orange/red zoas that are reluctant to open all that well yet. Downstairs I picked up some GSP for my overflow, some Xenia for my sump, a tiger pistol and a YWG to go with him. I would say it was a productive day!

Looks good and grats on the new corals.

Awesome! I picked up some of those same orange palys. They're great.

Definitely some nice looking zoas and palys

The birdsnest and frogspawn I got are both really nice too i promise! I just had a harder time getting a good picture of them due to the movement. Everyone appears to be happy even the birdsnest which i was worried about.

Only concern I have now is knowing what to look for if the corals need/want moved AND big AND the fact that the birdsnest sort of shades itself so I have no idea how to get light to the underside of it or if it's even necessary. The polyps come out and extend pretty well (I think it seems far for such small polyps) all over even in the shade but I want to keep it that way. Any suggestions?

Post pictures of the tank and placement with lighting of the birdsnest and someone can help you out.
