pics of some things I picked up while on vacation

Here are a few things I picked up from Vivid aquariums and the purple tang was from www.atafish.com. If you are ever traveling to southern CA I suggest calling ATAfish a few days before the trip then stop by to pick up the order. They have the best prices I have ever seen on fish.











Here is the purple tang I picked up for $70.00.

 

What is the red and white? the forth pic down?
They are all very nice! Good Score!! What is the second also? I want them both...

Sweet pics and additions! NICE! Whats the first pic, a tunicate?

If you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for the 4th pic? I believe its called a Srawberry something, or something to that effect.

I believe the first pic is a sea squirt and the second one is a pink stylophora. I am not good with name so i could be wrong.

Luna and Danny the last pic is called a white lightning sponge and I think it was $45.00 for this frag which is about 4" tall. The mother colony was $99.00. You can see them and a video at vividaquarium.com

 

saw the tang and onespot, thought i was lookin at my tank. cool pick ups vegas.

 

Luna you were dead on with calling it a Tunicate.



ANATOMY OF A SQUIRT
Sea squirts are tunicates, a type of sea life with a firm, rubbery outer covering called a "tunic," from which the name derives. As each organism feeds on algae and bacteria, they suck water in through one pipe and push it out a second. These bursts of water gave it the name "sea squirt.

 

Thats a great price buddy, my LFS store was/is selling the same thing( white lightning sponge) for $299.00 each. Great score

Wow, nice! I've ordered from Vivid Aquariums a few times and been very pleased. I love that sponge!

 

Well Luna if you want the sponge they will ship it. Not sure if the website shows the frags but if you call them they will sell you the frag. Or you can wait a few years for mine to reach frag size :

 

Nice tunicate, been looking for one for a long time. A+
