Soo...who managed to snatch this piece?

[Kataro]

I'm not sure what woke me up today... The thought that I can pick up my SPS at 8:30.. or the radio screaming at me.

It's 6 AM

 

[Kataro]

EC did a great job packaging this. It's a good pinkish yellow color at the moment... tip a bit purplish. I will take more photo once light comes on, I hope it hold its color!!

(Flash)

Nice looking piece Kataro, I agree my corals from EC are always very well packed. Usually Quadruple bagged.

 

[Kataro]

Sextuple bagged for me lol... bag within a bag withing 4 more bags

 

[fcmatt]

i just do not know what to think of the before and after pictures....
the first shots shows something amazing and the second shots show a coral
that is very very stressed.. reminding me of stuff in a LFS that i could get for a 1/4 of
the EC price.

i guess time will tell but that does not give me any confidence to pay up and get it shipped
at the moment.

Coral looks great/exactly how you would expect for a photo taken with a flash and no tank lights. I'm sure when he posts photos later on tonight you'll see the difference.

 

[Kataro]

The coral look like it came straight out of a zeovit tank. Something I do not mind and actually really like =). I will take picture later, first light came on. The base is very light green w/ pinkish looking polyp. Tip is actually light blue under my 20k and the base is yellowish pink though very light

Oh and the polyps were out within 20 minutes in the tank =)

Here's some picture w/ the light on... What do you guys think? Blast it with light? Right underneath my MH ? =D

Is it me or does this look like strawberry shortcake?

(I tried to capture the light green on the body... but failed)

Im thinking you should keep that in lower light for a while. It could be a little bleached....I think it needs a little time to get some deep color back before hitting the light full force.

It looks absolutely spectacular though. If it maintains the color or goes just a little bit darker but same colors.....that baby is going to look SWWWEEEET.

 

[Kataro]

Yup I have it low at the moment, I will move it up later on.

 

[Brian Chong]

Tears of joy for you Kataro. sandbed for few days and then moderate lighting till you see it darken up a lil

How many people have tanks that can show off that pattern :lol: Too much of a valuable realestate hog for me

 

[Whisperer]

Speciosa? Is that anything like a Spicoli?

That's an ugly frag.

Hang it off the edge of a rock over open water, lots of horizontal real-estate in my tank, just not over rocks

 

[Kataro]

not good =( I see RTN at the base... If this persist I have have to frag it and toss the base =(

I'd just leave it be. If you start fragging it it might void your 14 day guarantee from DD.

More flow! Pretty sure those guys are picky.
