    Ok well I took a trip over to Memphis since the only pet store we have is Petco and they just don't have the selection that the Memphis stores have.
    So we took a road trip and stopped by 4 pet store. Bob's Tropicals, Something Fishy, Kermit's Reef and Memfish. By far kermit's Reef and Memfish are the best.
    Anyways I picked up 4 corals and a mandarin fish. I know im going to get alot of battering over gettign a mandarin but I do have a nice pod population in my tank and have a 2 gallon tank with pods and a bucket of pods.
    Anyways, time for the corals.
    First one is a rock of green and pink zoas. They all opened up last night but the lights just came on when I went to take pictures so they aren't quite open yet.

    Next is a zoa frag that's not very pretty but was $6 so I got it.

    Here is some green mushrooms on a rock. They stand out very well.

    Last but not least and certainily my most favorite a Duncan. It has 2 large heads and the 3rd is currently splitting and almost into 2 different heads.

    Here is a picture of the Mandarin. She is plump and seems to be in very good health.

    I too just got my first corals... they are zoo's ... love them. However, I'm impatient... and they're frags... so there's a long way to go before I really love them! ;-)

    Thanks.
    I don't really want that many zoas but it was $50 for the rock with a bunch of zoas and $40 for a frag of about 6 so I just went for the rock.
    I figure ill let them spread on my rocks and then take the rock back.
