Finally!!!!! got my orange octospawn! I'll post some pics tomorrow after it opens up. Oh, and I picked up a couple small zoa frags I thought looked cool.
Pulled into the LFS and the sign said closed, open at 2(it was 12:30), I wasn't going home without at the very least looking to see if they still had one. Saw all the lights on so I figured someone had to be there. Tried the door and it was open. No lights on any of the tanks, and the owner was on the phone. I looked around and saw the same orange octo I saw 2 weeks ago. Owner got off the phone and told me they were closed. Got to talking to him(last couple times I've been there, he wasn't), told him I just drove 2 1/2 hours for this particular octo(he had 4 others but were green). He eventually sold it to me after shooting the isht for while, and at a discount! Nice guy and very knowledgeable, definitely one of the few LFS that really want to see you succeed and not just to try and sell you something. Was very interested in my setup, how long it was setup, what I currently had in the tank, and if I knew how to take care of this coral.
I will definitely be going back even though I think his prices are a tad high. I do have to say though, his dry goods are the same, if not cheaper then on the web.
Best part, this guy has a camp right down the road from my house. He told me that if I ever wanted something specific(like this octo), just give him a call, he'll either order it and bring it up, or if he has it he'll just bring it up on a Friday night(seems he comes up to his camp every weekend). Great deal! Saves me from driving a couple hours.
