Yes, its not pink in person, it is more of a light orange. the lighting in this little 10 sucks as well as my camera. This stuff was shipped without the heat pack activated, so I am suprised it even lived. Polyps are out in places on everything, I think they just need a few days...

I bought a bunch of LE zoas off of the "the other forum" and the guy shipped them 2 day instead of overnight after i gave him an extra 30 bucks. I bought 3 fire of hells (none made it) tubbs blues (all of them made it but as of 2 weeks later they still don't open very well yet)
3 purple hornets, only 1 made it and its a goofy oblong shape
3 cats eyes, just this week started to open up
5 red magicians, these were by far the hardiest, they opened rigth up and got huge within 24 hours
and 3 other polyps I forget what they are but they have yet to open up, but still look to be alive.
he shipped them in a nice container with heat pack and stuff, but thats apparently just too long to stay in the dark with no air.

Yeah, seems like it might have been too long for them. The website I bought this off of ripped me off because imo they sent tiny frags of the good stuff... And I guess some things just ship hard. I noticed that the monti's do and also the hornets. This is my second try with them, and so far they are opening. I think that everything will color up nicely in a day or two. So far nothing has died, but I have some doubts about the pokerstar... Sometimes it just takes a little tlc in our tanks though. Hopefully yours and mine will adjust and be really nice.

Well, I just moved the yellow tang over about an hour ago. The powder brown went right at him! Can you believe it??
The yellow is about 3x his size... I must have a demon possessed powder brown!
Just my luck! Anyway, had to turn the lights out for awhile, that seemed to calm them down. We will see I guess...fingers crossed...

Bought this brain today. It is currently in quarantine. You'll notice a small area on the left bottom that I didnt notice in the store, hope it will be ok, or is it normal? I dunno. And I got a pair of new clowns. I am calling them my christmas clowns. One of them snuck into the pic of the brain. They are so tiny and cute. They are also in Qt in the 10g nano.

HEY...How ya been, Cute clown Nice brain
I'm blind today.....I do not see a spot LOL
Good thanks. The brain has a small hole on the bottom left...with a little tlc, it should be ok. I just thought something might have been eating on it or something at the store. And I had a huge loss in the 180 so I havent had the heart to post any updates.
I lost every fish I added from the 75 plus my powder brown. What started out looking like ick ended up looking more so of brook and treatment came too late. And everyone had been good. I just dont know where it came from.....And today my husband talked me into the new clowns, or I would not have bought them. The only fish left now are the 3 chromis and my sailfin. 
I guess I was about to throw in the towel, but these little clowns are just cute enough to pull me out of my frump. Congrats on getting mod!!!

LOL...thanks
I'm so sorry about the losses Was it possible that you had a big water parameter spike..
I know... losses are horrible. I had those fish for years.... it really sucks... My water parameters had been and still are ideal. Nothing out of whack at all. My opinion is that one of the new additions had been carrying this and my fish were stressed with the move over, and wham! It was like a chain effect. I treated them with copper and formalin to no avail. Only the sailfin got better. the green chromis are hardy and never showed anything. It has been atleast 3 weeks since this happened, and all that are left are doing fine. No spots or white film. I am just really really angry with myself for not qting the newbs. Lesson learned the hard way. Even though they dont look or act sick doesnt mean that they are not.

LOL! I thought you didnt QT either!! Truth is, the new coral could of carried something in too, maybe it wasnt the fish, I guess I will never know. And No the 180 is not empty. I still have the three green chromis and the sailfin in there. Like I said they are doing well. The little sailfin is growing like crazy.
