    I am hoping someone will see this and can somewhat tell me what kind of acro it is. It's pretty thick with very prominent corallites. Right now, it's fairly off colored due to the shipping I would assume because he only had it in store for 3 or 4 days so only time will tell what it's actually goig to look like. It looks like there are some purples and reds with very blue polyps. Anyway, I helped my buddy who owns a LFS move a tank yesterday and this is what he gave me. I'm pretty stoked about it. It's a really big colony.

    yeah, I wish I could get a better pic. When he offered it to me for helping, my jaw dropped. Normally I wouldn't take anything because he is a really good friend but I couldn't pass this one up.

    I see some lime greens, purples, reds....I can't wait for it to color up. It's on the sandbed now letting it get used to my LED's before moving up.

    SPS has absolutely taken over my love of reefing. People say they aren't as pretty or flowy but people haven't seen really nice SPS tanks. That's what I'm hoping for. One of those tanks that goes BAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM ;D
