Well, not really. I really went looking for a sea cuke to see if he will help with my detritus. But I went to a store I had never visited before, Down Under in Garner, NC. Needless to say, I did not leave with just a cuke.
They had a 50% sale on stuff in 3 tanks and 15% off on stuff in other tanks. The 50% tanks had incredibles corals in them but they were all too big for my little nano.
I got 4 different types of Zoas; a huge pc. with brilliant orange skirts and ice blue inside and a yellow mouth, a rusty orange skirted with greenish/blue and an orange mouth, a large round dome of pale and bright pinks with silver mouth and silvery skirts, and a teeny toxic green piece with maybe 6 polyps - brown inside, green skirt, and green mouth.
I also got a cleaner shrimp, a gorgeous pink Coco worm and a HUGE Turbo snail. As I was walking out the door I spotted a neon green dot in a 12DX. It was a single trumpet polyp, sitting there glowing away, so I had to get it.
As I was leaving the owner stopped me and asked if it was my first time there and how I heard about them. He asked what I thought of the store and of their stock. I told them how great I thought their selection was and he said that actually they were pretty emptied out because the sale had already been going on for a day and a half. Even with that I was impressed. The corals were soooo healthy and his prices were very reasonable. Nice to see an owner interested in what a customer has to say.
I've already fragged the largest zoa - it wouldn't fit in the tank otherwise - and I have the pieces spread around. Maybe I'll make some money back soon selling a couple of pieces.
As soon as I have time I'll set up the tripod and get some pics.

But once we discovered they had a little table and chairs, coloring books, and a Nemo video set up for little kids, it was much easier. Great idea!
