    Thank you. I'm certain they're in there. I turned the pumps off and kept dropping in a couple pellets here and there get help hold them still.

    Thanks Chris.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the compliments Scott.

    Thanks.

    :) Thanks Eric.

    Thanks John. I didn't even have to ask either, he simply offered. Sure, I'll give him some frags, but I'm fairly certain that wasn't the motivation. He has a very nice 150 tank of his own.

    Thank you. Tyree Cyphastrea.

    Thanks Cheryl; knew you'd like these.

    If the pocillopora wasn't so pretty, I'd have rid myself of it long ago. PIA with polyp bailouts and planting itself elsewhere.

    The stag isn't blue, but rather as purple as it looks with white polyps. Started life once just as a frag... I've had that one a couple years now, and it loves high light and flow.

    Surprised you didn't recognize #6; cyphastrea (Tyree cyphastrea).

    I'm excited now to grow some glorious SPS once again. :)

    Yeah I love that Pocillopora, wish mine looked like that.

    Nope would not have guessed branching Cyphastrae, I know we posted about it but that would have not be my guess I was going for something like Montipora.

    White polyps on the stag, sounds very very nice.

    So do you have the MOP already?

    Amazing crazy colors, Hunter. These pics make me want a macro/micro lens really bad.

    The purple and green acan is really nice. Did it have the orange in it when you first got it?

    Thanks Alex.

    Not branching cyphastrea, just the regular encrusting. I do have a branching with pink polyps; not shown in this set but that's the one you're recalling.

    Yeah, people hear me say white polyps and they instantly think "bleached". They're truly white.

    The MOP is the first photo! :p

    Thanks Shin. These make me just want to have a real camera of my own. Christmas? Hmm...

    Thanks Jerry. Yes it did, and there's quite a bit more orange on it than you can see in this macro. I picked this one up cheap from Reef Empire a couple years ago, but it's identical to one WWC sells on regular occasion with a high price tag.

    Your tank is looking Great.

    I have an acro that has white polyps. That the reason I bought it. It is just a frag and I have no idea what it really is, but it does look a little different.
