    It's pretty rare around here. I love it though, pretty green and the growth is very unique.

    I suspect my potters angel may be nipping, those pictures were from a few minutes after the lights came on, and I usually don't see PE like that, at least from those corals.

    Here is a pretty good image of the last Spath that Ken from ReefCorners sent me. The Spath was a freebie and the Mint Nasuta (right next to the Spath) was a freebie from about 5 months back.

    Every coral in that image if from ReefCorner except the Setosa.

    I think I may have converted another SPS admirer to reef corner after a not too pleasant experience with another company.

    Simply put, I think reef corner is the BEST site for buying SPS.

    I just picked up two different acros today from a shop that had an alk problem... They were fresh cut from dying tissue, but I think they will make it. One is a light blue bushy type acro, and the other is a blue tip stag, which I think is going to color up beautifully. Also picked up another 6" colony of miyagi tort today for a frag of rainbow leptoseris, purple and orange leptastrea and a frogspawn frag. Pretty good considering I paid nothing for those three frags. I will post pics tomorrow.

    Unrelated note: got this beautiful 8" x 6" photosynthetic sea fan for $20 today.

    I do not know a lot of vendors that take pics of the corals you bought right before they ship and emails those images to you.

    Ken also told me last week that a transport temp in the low 70's is not a bad thing for corals. It slow metabolism, his corals always get here in excellent shape.

    Here is that Granulosa from DD last week, this thing is gorgeous in person if you're a stick head.

    I just think reef corner is the best. He should be a sponsor here. I really want to get a spath colony, efflo colony, echinata colony, and an abro colony from him.

    Those red granulosas are stunning
