And I didn't share these here yesterday. Clearly I need to. All comments by the photographer:

The tail on the Johnson's wrasse hit the light just right for this shot -- pretty incredible fish:

If I told you the price on those, you might change your mind. We needed a few drinks that night...

 

Oh snap Hunters now a chalice guy.... group grow out coops are a terrible idea fyi.

 

love the scoly!~

 

I've always liked chalices...
Not really a co-op, but rather a way to only pay half the price while having a back-up on deck if one guy has a problem. These will get some rest, then we'll split them. Neither of us will be thinking about fragging after that until there's a colony to appreciate.

Saw it Saturday, thought about it all evening. Had to buy it Sunday. Which brought my total to way more than I wanted to spend, but I just couldn't pass it up.

 

That scoly is truly impressive!! Great job on all of your finds. My guess is that retail amount would be just a tad high

I really love that hammer I think you said it was. May I ask how much it has grown in your tank or did you purchase it as a large piece?

 

How's the MOP doing Hunter? I've been trying not to order another until I upgrade. I need my fix man, come on!

 

Thank you. The total haul in the car was that of four buyers; let's just say it was a silly 4 figure number. I was not the biggest spender.

It's a branching hammer; thanks. It and the duncans were my first stoney corals, over 3.5 years ago. Each started with 3 polyps. So it's literally grown in feet, not inches.

There's other nicer acros in here. You're already looking at photos of some. it's fine; just a slow grower and it probably lacks a little light where I have it.
