    just placed in my two new pieces today after a brief acclimation. First one is an Avatar acan and the other was supposed to be 2 polyps of red hornets zoas but I can see a couple of babies on it already! Not too bad for $25 plus shipping. Pictures forthcomming

    Where did you get them from? Online vendor? LFS? Club? And we are definitely going to need pics.

    For some reason im always ebaying hornet zoas just to see if there is a deal out there, never bid too high. Ended up winning these guys with a high bid of 3.75 in the last minute, turned out fo be 18 all said and done. So to maximize the money I have to lay out for shipping i bid on the rest of his stuff. Modest bids and only came out with the acan echinata but im still pretty pumped. they are sitting in actinics with the protective pvc around them until a bit later, ill take those off then snap a couple pics.

    Tomarrow im building a 3 tank sump and syphoning off all the red slime with a 20percent water change. I was hoping he was sending them today so they would get here after I did the upkeep :-/

    Sorry for the bad pictures, couldnt get much of a focus. My red hornets are FINALLY starting to open, scared me pretty good. the pic is bad but you can see 4 babies around the base. The other is my acan, looks a little fdifferent than i thought it would but for 5 buck i dont really care, just trying to subsidise the shipping costs with anything i could through in
