    I really like the Nuclear Green Palys and Purple Deaths. Very cool colors.

    Thanks. Something different for sure. I am really hoping to grow the hybrids by placing them together. "Two Face Paly" they call them.

    Not in these photos. I do have ORA BoP, but not in these photos, I'll snag a shot tomorrow. That is just their standard green birdsnest.

    ORA Green Birdsnest | Seriatopora guttatus | Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums

    EDIT: Mistake in the name.

    That would be awesome to get a hybrid from them.

    Haha, I hate when that happens. Thanks!

    Yeah, since those hybrids are crazy expensive. ;) 160 Per poly ATM, if you can even get one. However, RAP is coming in like 6 months, and perhaps I can get a few to grow and sell. Muahaha.

    LOL. I know right, they are god awful. They were cut just down to were the taper is as seen here:

    With a coral band saw. Conversely I just realized that if they coral has not encrusted too much, you can just wiggle low at the base of the coral where it meets the plug and because of how smooth it is, you can pop the coral right out.
