    I stopped by a local reefer's place today to pick up some corals. He has a really nice setup and some really nice stuff. I got a nice rainbow monti colony, a frag of garf bonsai, a frag of Tyree pink lemonade and he threw in a frag of tri color valida for free. He's a great guy and a great asset to the reefing community. Here's a pick of the rainbow colony, it's his pic not mine. I'll have to post pics tomorrow. It's about 3" tall and looks great.

    I know it was kind of a tease, but I couldn't help myself. I knew I couldn't post this without any pics. I'll take some tommorrow.

    Hey guys, sorry I didn't post pics sooner but I've been really busy. Here are some pics. The rainbow monti was a colony on a large frag base that over grew the base. It was an awkward configuration and placement was really a bi**h so I cut off the top and now have the base, which is about 3" in diameter an a large chunk that is about 2-3". Some of it has really nice color, the blue is really a deep blue, but b/c of the way it was fraged, some of it didn't get much light, so you will see darker areas that still need to color up. The Garf Bonsai was from a tank break down and is still in the process of coloring up, but you can see the nice bright green polyps and the tips are turning a nice purple. Last is the Pink Lemonade frag, it's about 3" and is a nice yellow with pink polyps.

    Rainbow Monti (note I used different white balances to try to show you the combination of true colors)
