    I have a $20 credit at my LFS and I was wondering what I should use it for. Any ideas? I was thinking GSP (believe it or not I do not have any), but I actually hear bad things about it taking over tanks. Also usually the GSP at my LFS is not NEON green. I would like the coral I get to be a softy or maybe an LPS.I have a few corals in mind, but I just wanted to know what you all think I sould get :)
    Thanks for any suggestions ;)

    I am a firm believer in buying what grabs your attention the best. So I wouldn't use the credit until you really want something.

    Agreed, but I am not planning to go and just buy something I see :)
    Most of the coral my LFS sells is ordered specifically for the customer. In other words I could come and name a coral, size, and color, and he will be able to get it for me. It sometimes can take a couple of weeks or more, but it is great! I just want some ideas so I could ask my LFS about getting them.
    Thanks for the advice!

    That is great, I would look through some of the online sites and see what interests you. I would say look into zoanthids, mushrooms, brain coral, candy canes something like that.

    OOOOHHHHH That is a great idea just what I was looking for! Candy canes! I actually do not have any. :) Thanks 2in10!
    I am aware that they have stem like bodies (like frogspawns), but is there any way I could get some on a rock? That should be a question to ask my LFS if they could get any...but do they even exist? Thanks again for the great sugggestion!
