New Corals! 11-11-2010 (UPDATED PICS)

Thanks you both, Coralline and 2in10!! I was hoping there would be a cheaper alternative! Just to make sure... I ran a search and came up with 2 types (http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/search/search.jsp?searchTerm=tincture+of+iodine&QP=N%3D92%26Ntk%3DAll%26Nty%3D1%26Ne%3D14%26Ntx%3Dmode+matchallpartial%26Nr%3DOR{92%2COR{93}%2COR{90}%2COR{122}}%26searchType%3DsearchHome&x=0&y=0) one is dechlorinated... so I'm assuming this is the one I need, right?

You can has them all!!! Except mine! LOL
;D

 

Scratch my last Q!! I'm an idiot!
It said "Decolorized" ! I don't even know how I mentally translated that to "Dechlorinated" must be the excitement :

 

RP changes the greens depending on height. If you like the green, keep it lower. The higher you keep it, the redder it gets.

Personally, I want a nice green main base with just a little more than the corralites being red. Of course as it grows, it will do what it does.

 

I've been slowly light acclimating these frags as per steve's instructions. I was stargting to have a few white spots on the RP, but today it seems to be doing better. I can tell though it should pull through. The RP as well as the monti extended their polyps very nicely, only 30 minutes after I put them in the tank. And RP has kept the polyps out at all times, day or night! I hope this is a good sign. Pictures coming tonight!

 

New pics up!!!

Ok, so here are the pictures of the frags I got (The ones I had posted on the first post are the mother colonies as stated)

I think the pics would come out better if my lights were nicer, but that's all I've got. I also received a mystery acro that I will put up for ID shortly in the ID This forum.

Thanks for watching!!

Very nice Magnus, the RP will start to take off after it encrust the plug, which they do pretty quickly.

 

Weird frag plugs eh?

They look great! How did you like buying from that eBay user? The experience and shipping very good?

 

Thank you Coraline! I can't wait to see it take off and get some of the color the mother colony is showing!

They are very weird! I've never seen plugs like that.

As far as the ebayer, I really enjoyed the experience. It was shipped ultra quickly and got it the next day in the morning. It was packed very proffessionally too! Here's how: inside the box, a styrofoam box, inside the styrofoam box, 1 big plastic bag surrounded with newspaper and sitting on top of a heat pad. Inside the 1 big bag, there were 3 little bags and inside the smaller bags, the plugs were floating. Yes! Floating!!! The bags were filled with air, and the plugs were attached to a small block of styrofoam, which kept the frags floating in the water, without touching the bag. I was very impressed. If anyone wishes to buy from "reefgardener" go ahead. I approve! It was a very nice transaction and she even gave me that extra unknown acro!

Frags are looking good Magnus

the packaging method sounds ideal to me also
keeps them secure against potential knocks and bumps
