picked up a couple things today

[reefkoi]

I went down to Exotic Tropicals, got lucky and arrived when the shipment came in
I did get a pink gorgonian, I'll snap some photos when it polyps out.
Got a red large coco worm, will get picks when that one comes out also.
Heres the crocea

and heres the acro, It's the bluest I've ever seen from a LFS, a LFS anywhere in fact!
I think its a polystoma sp. either way nice and should color up further provided I give it the right conditions anyway. The polyps were very blue in the store, in this photo they are not out, I had just dropped it in the tank when I snapped the photo.

You gonna frag it right, ummmmm Helllllllo. Hold on, I'm calling you.

Dude, the acro is so blue, that it looks like it is under pure actinic. That is a stunning piece!!! I should have kept it for the show tank. That's ok..... I'll get a frag later.

 

[reefkoi]

I'll be happy to give you guys frags, lets just hope it stays this blue, or gets better!

 

[aquaman2000]

oh..... it will get better..... oh yes it will get better

 

[aquaman2000]

is the Killer pink gorgonian open yet?

 

[normanviking]

That is a nice acro. I love the blue.

 

[reefkoi]

I don't know if the pink gorg opened yet, the lights are off. I will check tomorrow.
Thanks Dan, I forgot to grab your corals tonight I plan to go down tomorrow and grab some.

[normanviking]

Ok cool. They are a bunch of little frags. I hope I have time for the tank this weekend. I need to stip the molding and paint my old house still.

 

[Deuce67]

LOL! I was following that thread.

I know its kinda rare to get good stuff from LFSs in Colorado Springs, but there is a place in Boulder called Aqua Imports that seems to always have the rarer things we all want. THey had some deep blue acro, about 8 clams, and a nice and big store with plenty to look at.

A buddy and I went up there on Sudnay and he picked up a hot pick Stylophora, plus some very nice Zoas. But with the Stylophora he got a fat old emerald crab, and then looking harder at the Stylophora he found it came with another crab, a little host crab.

It was worth the trip to find stuff harder to find here

 

[Huhhhhh]

Huh?

 

[Gobydood]

Man now I know what you mean about the rare corals. The acro has some amazing color!!!!! Exotic Tropicals is on Fillmore and Wood right?

Yes that is the one.:beer:

That picture of Chris's Acro doesn't come close to doing it justice. There isn't even a word worthy of describing its beauty.

Nearly made me want to go SPS over my loved LPS.

 

[reefkoi]

Questin, thanks for the info, I have heard of that store in Boulder, i think i went there 8-10 years ago, it was good then and I hear even better now. I'll have to drag Tim up there some day.
Thurge.................you know you want to go SPS.. Its just a matter of when, not if you will.
Huhhhhh.....thats Mr. Trump to you
Don

 

[ReefJerk]

I was going to ask the same question about that "Don" issue. I was thinking, "I know his name is Chris..."

 

[normanviking]

I think because he has more money then us po' folks to spend on the hobby. lol
