Just had to share. Scored this for $40. It's almost 6 inches long.

Scored these for $40. It's almost 6 inches long. The smallest polyp is the size of a dime, not including its "feelers". Biggest is at least the size of a half dollar. What do you think? Good buy?

Not a deal really, but a pretty good purchase! How many polyps? If you had bought a small frag, you would have had a colony in no time! Definitly fast growers

About 40 polyps I guess. Give or take. How fast do they spread? I have an 8 bulb t5.

8 bulb? Wow! Ya most palys grow quick. Youll have double that in another 3-4 months. Keep them very very low
 
Thank you fort. It said it didn't post the first time. Stupid iPhone. And I didn't realize they grew that fast. And everyone I've me ruined I had an 8 bulb to seems amazed. Why is that? Lol. We bought our tank off Craigslist for $350. 75gal tank and stand and 8 blub t5. I thought it was a good deal but everyone seems shocked like an 8 bulb is outta this world. Lol. I don't get it.

8 bulb is alot of light. Depending on what corals you have, most will need to be atthe bottom of the tank. I have a 6 bulb and i burn most anything that i put up too high
 
I have a large colony of these ! Very fast growers ! Yours look nice !

Grant, you light fixture is 6 bulbs next to eachother. Most eight bulbs are 2 sections of 4, not 8 all next to eachother. Not sure if your fixture is like that Faye.
