My new cups

[MayorOfWhoVille]

Hey everyone! Check out these new cup corals that I got from John at YR. Mmmm, yellow cup coral, never seen one before, now I've got one! Yay! So much great stuff, lots of nice cups/pagodas (among lots of other amazing pieces), I just couldn't resist...so I got two!

Nice score, Austin. But with that thread title, I was hoping for pix of D cups!

Mark- you don't want to see me with D cups! :lol:

Rudy- glad to be back! School has been a &#*$(@ so I have been finding inspiration in my tank lately.

Elite- I never really thought about the possibility it could be dyed. Crazy. Based on the article I don't think they are dyed either, but thanks for the link! Maybe the yellow one I got is the other small-polyped Turbinaria it talks about? I think the article is suggesting that the yellow one pictured is a dyed Turbinaria peltata (larger polyps?). Interesting read, definitely good to know and be aware of, thanks. :rollface:

I would find it hard to believe that John would ever be suckered into buying a dyed specimen of anything, much less pass it on to anybody.
