    i visited my LFS yesterday to see if they had gotten in my mantis. unfortunately i have to wait til wednesday. so the main saltwater guys comes to me and says i've got 2 deals for you you can buy two 35$ zoa colonys and ill give you one for free, or buy to tiny 10$ frags and ill give you two for free. there were these tiny designer zoas catching my eye so i took the second deal. (see pics). its the first one, they're called peanut butter cups but the pics dont do them justice. funny thing is i came home with more than just 4 corals. things startede popping up left and right. two vetremid snails, one asternia star and one zoa eating nudi. big day to say the least. sorry for the long post.;)

    1.peanutbutter cups
    2. favia
    3. other favia
    4. fire and ice zoas
    5. peanutbutter cups again
