    Local reefer was unloading a couple of montipora digitata frags for $10/frag so I figured I would dip my toes into fuzzy stick keeping slowly (and cheaply). After a short ride home and a quick dip, they went in (I don't have a QT capable of supporting any photosynthetic creatures). After about 30 minutes of me fumbling around the rock work and having my GF use the net to keep my black occ. clown from nipping at me, they were secured. Another 30 minutes later and the polyps were extended. The plastic plugs were a bit harder to place in my rocks since the base was wider so the green frag isn't in an optimally aesthetic spot.

    Here are some macro shots...if you want to see a FTS with these included, you'll have to check my progress thread later today.

    they grow pretty fast, but thats most SPS... as long as it has strong lighting, and stable water at the right levels..
