Nice grab, I have those also, and I just picked up one of the LE Pearlberry Acro and a Hawkins Blue Enchinata from ORA yesterday. I really like the stuff from ORA, usually does very well for me. The Anacropora I got is a little finicky. Good luck with them, I hope they do well for you.

If you're ever over in my area, I'll frag you a piece for a lot less than that. I got mine for about 40 less. The two Dr.s was asking 129 for a 1" frag of those. The Roscoe's is one of my favs, it is always very bushy looking. What am I saying, they are all my favs. Have a good one, and seriously if you do make it over this way send me PM or something maybe we can trade some stuff, I'm always up for that, just not into shipping and the possible hassles that can go with it.

Yeah, most of the time they are nice size(usually bigger than listed), but sometimes they are what they say. Most of the frags from ORA that I have gotten have been pretty nice and oversized too.

IMO the only thing exciting about the new pearlberry is it's name
Definitely was a pass for me. I do love my hawkins "echinita", phil's granulosa, and the Dustin's deepwater. I also got the new oregon tort but it's not doing well at the moment

Nice corals- I just got a new chips as well; my frag is so big it's almost a mini colony. Got to love the ORA stuff.

well i stopped at another store and they had a bunch of true percs..So I got my little guy a partner. Its kinda cute the first one I got earlier instantly started to follow it aroudn the tank like a little boy in love. they seem to have taken to each other fast. It doesnt have the dark like the other because its not as mature but you can def tell its atrue perc from the eyes. You can see the orange ring mainly around the black..False percs have pure black eyes

true percs look like my first one I posted. alot mroe black and look alot nicer
there are things to look for when they are still young. like the amount of dorsal spines and eye color.

I think your second clown is a fasle percula too, True perculas usually have wider black bands between their stripes.
