    Haha, ok so I got some! It's a nice sized rock with LOTS of polyps and it was only $25. This LFS I got them from is always pretty reasonably priced. I also bought a small rock with 3 blue mushrooms on it for $10. I have been wanting blue mushrooms but the rocks I generally see are like $40-$50. That's crap cause I'll easily get these three to spread quickly.

    What kills me is I went to another LFS and they also had button polyps. But one rock they had which was honestly about the same size as the one I got was freaking $60, and another rock that's SMALLER then my rock was $50! How does that happen?

    Oh well, chalk up 2 more corals for me, bringing me to a new total of 16 corals! WooHoo! Now what I need is a nice show fish. Any suggestions? :trampolin

    Hahahahaha, the million dollar question!! Well just to get this out, tangs are to much for your system. I like angelfish, but they are hit or miss with corals so buy at your own risk!! Have fun with those blue shrooms! I have some nice sized blue stripe, and they are sooooo cool. I got the rock with 3 for 30 bucks!! Now I have 7 hehe. What kinda polyps did you get?? Buttons, zoa's, yellow???? From what Monkey says they will grow like crazy, and I can tell you he is very true!! My rock alread has little ones, and ive only had it a few days!! Did I hear, Fragging?? LOL, I have a 100 gallon to fill now! My tek with will be hear in a matter of hours now!!

    I got buttons. I had a Yellow Tang in my tank pretty successfully for awhile, and it just died one day. No warning, just kicked it. It was eating every day, and looked very very healthy. I'm not even gonna risk an Angel. My corals are too precious to me for that! We'll see, I have time.....

    best way to frag these is to place a small piece of rubble and give it about a month... that is what i did and i have ALOT!!! all over...

    and then just take a razor to it.

    this stuff will not die.
