My new coral purchases

[IraqVeteran]

purple leaf plate montipora cap
purple millepora
purple poccilopora
green birdsnest
green millepora
and a purple tipped branching hammer

The first 5 are smaller frags (about 2" each) and the hammer is about
2 1/2" across. It wasnt too badly priced either. Altogether I paid $150.

The frag packs were $25 each or 5 for $100. That is a better deal than what I saw on Liveaquaria.com and at least I was able to pick the frags that I wanted.

They came from T&T Fish and Coral on Hwy 6 in Houston, TX

2 inch frags are on the bigger end of the spectrum, if you wanna talk about small corals, tyree came out with a new coral that is 150 bucks for a single coralite!

Wow your sand is so clean!!! :D
Nice new frags! I need to get some more...

 

[ccCapt]

Very nice! I hope they are just planted in the sand for the pics. None of them should be down there.

im going to assume since he has MH's he is doing it for light acclimation

also that second to last pic of the birdsnest looks like a chopped up ORA birds of paradise

Thats correct dustin....the LFS had them under 1/2 the MH wattage as what I have and I wanted to acclimate them for a few days before I start to move them up.

The sand is really clean because of my yellowhead goby......sometimes he causes sand specs in the water but it's not that bad. I use my scraper on the glass everyday to keep the glass clean also.

also if you look at the top right of this pic you can see the small purple mat of my green star polyp and I think my little Fishers Angel may be nipping at it because it has not opened in about 5 days

id give them a week on the sand bed minimum before moving them

 

[IraqVeteran]

I put them in there on Monday I believe.

Being you have a goby that moves the sand around, keep in mind sand covering the SPS (like on the purple cap) will kill them. The 1 on the far left looks buried past the plug. If it was encrusted to the plug, all that will die under the sand. Just keep an eye on them and blow off any sand that settles on them.

Pygmy angels are nippers for the most part. Some like soft coral, some like hard coral, some like clams and sometimes you get lucky and they won't bother anything.
