    They sure are great and can't really beat the price and packaging.Everything in your tank looks great.

    I am still hesitant to buy a scolymia this is my first ever SW so the Acan and Clam are plunges really but maybe by the end of the summer I'll pull the trigger on one

    +1. Snap those ugly plugs off and mount the SPS to the rock. Then you'll be in business!

    I was afraid do try this someone said that it would be like refragging them and could stress them further so I just put them in there like that

    On the ORA corals ive bought, i just snap off the encrusted plug and put it to the side. Place the snapped off portion where i want and let the plug side heal/grow somewhere else. I don't know how yours are, it looks like you can remove the frags easily where where putty meets the plug. Just pull the putty and frag off the plug, try sliding a razor between the plug and the putty.

    If you are uncomfortable with that, the plug will eventually be encrusted by the coral...

    I love that bubble! I have a white one and I've always wanted to get a green as well.
