I have had reef tanks for a couple years now. Dabbled with sps here and there and have been debating on going that route. Went to the LFS for a cleaner shrimp yesterday and they had a huge colony of 3 different kinds of sps that had encrusted together in a scratch and dent $25 frag section of a huge tank. I thought "this HAD to be a mistake". So I took it home. I broke apart the 3 different types. I have loosely identified the large one (roughly 7 inches long and the branches spread about 5" at the top, several branches). It is a green/purple millepora. The other smaller frags I broke off look to be acro to me. One is a deep purple with a dark green hue and the other is wicked neon green. I will try to get pics when I get home tonight. Work has recently blocked access to photobucket. Corals are now under my 20k 250w halides and coloring up!

Ya sounds like you got a great deal my lfs sells sps around $30 for a 1" frag.
Didnt get a chance to post pics last night. Polyps were all out and looking good. The green one has orange colored polpys. The rest will take a while to color back up from what I read. They were sitting on the sandbed under some really old bulbs at the LFS. They are now under my 20k halides.

.... sigh, i hate you ;-) lol
Crappy cell pics: I listed this in a local forum for sale/trade lol. I dont really wish to keep sps but i couldnt pass the deal.
In this one, just behind the AOG, is the purplish green tint frag.
In this one you can see the big millepora and just in front of it the neon green one with orange polyps.
