Acros and Acros oh my!

Well I just got back from a world wind tour of a few LFSs in my area and of course I picked up some corals.

I went to Fins & Feathers (1st time) and picked up some awesome corals from them. I also picked up a sun coral, but it's not a sun coral or a dendrophillia I forget the name. It is very similar to both though...

And I picked up a nice Montipora Spumosa. Here are a couple pics of them in the bucket getting happy to my system....

I'll get some pics of them when I get them into the Frag tank where they will spend the night. I'll also post some pics when they get placed in the reef.

I'm just too excited!!!!! I'm going to have to make a trip to F&F again soon!!!

Here are some pics of them in the Frag tank. They are going to spend the night here as I just don't have it in me to mess with taking the canopy off and placing corals.

Look like some great pickups. Was this Fins & Feathers in WV?

 

[Ziggy953]

We went to the one in Ashburn, VA. I was very impressed with their SPS selection and the prices WOW!!!! I should have gotten more. $12.99 and $14.99 for what you see there. The Montipora Spumosa was $39.00 but that came from BRK.

I was very pleased with my visit and I got a 10% discount for being a WAMAS member.

Is that orange one a balanophylia?

Those are plugs, the balanophylia is attached to a piece of LR

Very nice pick up Allen.

Thanks!! I'm thrilled!

Is that orange one a balanophylia?

Yes thank you for pulling the name. I couldn't remember it to save my life!

Nice score. Great prices!

Thanks! I can't wait to get them placed in the tank.

I am so jealous! you guys/gals on the east coast have all of the good lfs!! Those are really, really nice...... I'll sit here with my stinking couple of corals and whine!

So, Allen, is it confirmed he has some harder to get corals? I just like to spread the news if it is true.
Fulff, I think the one in C-Town might be closed, or at least they no longer do fish....

Thanks Scott, I actually remember you saying that now.

I don't know about harder to find but definately different from what I see at other places. I was very pleased with what I got. I plan on going back and picking up some more in a few weeks. $12.99 and $14.99 per frag is awesome! The quality and health of the frags can't be beat at that price!!!

WAMAS members get a 10% discount if you buy in cash. Major score for me yesterday!!

Awesome pick ups Allen. When can I expect my frags?

Unbelievable pricing too. I'll remind you of that later .

What a relief now that the new tank is up and NOT leaking, eh?
