I just got back from there while taking a break from work... ;) anyways, they had a nice pink table hyacinthius. Its small, but has potential. Fishcraze, it looks like the one you had. The pink is beautiful. I was thinking of where it would look good in my tank, but the place I wanted to put it didnt have enough flow. This coral needs strong flow and light.

Oh by the way tommy, that brown Turaki you took pics of is now blue! I was very surpised at how fast this coral colored up. Did you see it?

Thanks guys. I inspected it today with no signs of tissue loss. That is a good sign already! This species and especially with this color really worries me in its infant stages in a different environment than where it came from.

By the way, I was eyeing a lot of their red blastos a couple of days ago and when I went there yesterday they were all sold out. :( Ever since I saw a nice colony of blastos at fishcraze's tank, I fell in love with them.

tommy, naka also bought the orange acan/enchinata colony! I think there is one left.

ok maybe i was wrong about this one. The lights finally came on and it doesnt look so hot. :) I should of known better and trusted my theory of the "polyp bailout" on SPS corals. I didnt see polyps at the store nor in my aquarium (pic above). It is my theory that the polyp will leave the coral first causing a chain reaction to the tissue since no chemical reactions can occur for photosynthesis by the symbiotic relationship. In other words, it will self destruct. Better luck next time. :)

It may just be that it needs some time to get settle to your tank since it just came to the store yesterday, to CP tank, and then to your tank... hopefully u will se the polyps by tomorrow :wink:
