He's been plucking at pods and the frozen baby brine. So we will see!

So I don't know how this happened but there is a LFS that's strictly saltwater fish and corals less than 7 miles from my house that I didn't know was there! Can't wait to check it out Wed!

That sun coral is so cool! I'd love to find one eventually, you got a really healthy looking one too, the only ones I've seen at LFS are dying or always closed.

Also, very cool hitchhiker! Glad to hear he's starting to eat!

IMO yes. I hate buying 1-2 polyp frags. That is a nice assortment but $120 seems steep for 1 polyp frags

I mean I'm all about frags but 1 polyps frags suck. It is 50:50 they will survive. Having 3+ polyps usually translates to better survival. Yeah idk if I'd do that frag pack or not. The red hornets and Rastas are very nice and tend to be a lot of money per polyp. But fire and ice are so common...

You aren't taking area into consideration. You can't get those anywhere around me at all. I'm not aware of much availability around Erie...Pittsburgh they would be more common most likely. For 120 I'd snatch it up as I've paid 10 for one polyp of Lord of the Rings that didn't even survive.

For what those morphs are going for right now,$120 sounds about right IMHO. I think I'd pull the trigger if they were 3-4p frags, but for 1-2 maybe not.

This is true but I've just always had issues with 1 polyp frags. It may be worth it just for the Rastas and red hornets. I can get red hornets for 60 pp around me... and Rastas are $40-50. Those 2 alone almost make it worthwhile. Now that I'm thinking about it NanoNewb I'd probably do that. Red hornets are high on my list of wants...I'd be pretty jealous lol

Don't pay 40-50 pp for Rastas. Gimme 3-4 months and I got you on a nice 0pp frag.
