    ;) I went over the weekend and picked up a few things at my lfs. Thought I would finally post some pics of my tank ;) I picked up a sun coral (it hasn't came out yet:cry: but it's only been a few days), something that the guy at my lfs called a flower pot, and a green and purple yuma that had a sprout next to it :p. Let me know what you guys think

    Same thing happened to me. The guy at my lfs sold it on me so I had to wait a few weeks.

    Looks like some nice coral, the "flower pot" looks to me like an Alveopora. You might want to look into it a little bit because, while they seem to be easier than their relative Goniopora, they still can be tricky. You might want to feed it, or at least try and feed it.
