I believe a green one. Also a Monti Undata and some Acro Millepora.

If I attempted something like this...I'd end up keeping too much of it and saying a got it for wholesale xD
But the frags look great, good job with it!

Thanks! I know the feeling tho when I get a coral I want for myself lol. Good thing I got no room in my DT. I have been tacking on a fish here & there tho hehe. Tomorrow I'm supposed to get a blue spot jawfish that may have to spend some time here for a while

Yes I saw your earlier post and had not heard of that before. Interesting link to watch , that you for posting it. I do not have anything like that incorporated but it sure leads one to consider it

Few pics minutes after adding to the tank of the new lot. Also my blue dot I picked up.

Much appreciated, Rick! I'm always having conflicting thoughts on wanting to frag those apart because I love the look of the whole colony lol.

Blue Dot making his home!

Pretty good first week. Just today alone I sold three of the five colonies of SPS I got this week along with a handful of frags, a yellow tang, 20lbs of live rock & 13 lbs live sand.

[Keithhjs]

Pics of some of the SPS arrivals today. The softies and LPS aren't open yet. More LPS and a few SPS & softies coming tomorrow.
I plan on getting a new camera this weekend. We'll see if I take any better pics. Prob not lol.

Awesome! I'm moving product daily I just haven't had the time to start overnighting stuff. My (day) job is too hectic right now. Hopefully this takes off and I can pull back some. If you want something I'm sure I can make time to get stuff shipped to you. I'm just not at the "click and add to cart" stage on my website yet.

& a few of the new pieces:

My little guy loves to play with the viewer lol.

What on earth would make you want to start selling corals ? Im sure theres gotta be a lot of behind the scenes BS associated with setting everything up , licensing, web stuff, cc sales etc ...just seems like a hard nut to crack BUT let us know when youre ready to rock and maybe we can toss a few pennies in the pot..i assume mrs keith has given her approval ?

Well I want to eventually have my own brick & mortar storefront. Obviously it's something that interests me and I enjoy. Couple that with the fact I've needed a prosthetic knee for the last decade & now i'm looking at Achilles heel surgery, I need to think about getting out of the construction trades. And yes the mrs is on board (for now) lol.
