thanks it took me a few tries but i got it how i like it now.....i think some ppl's live rock doesn't show its potential because they are always reaquascaping it every few weeks...the key is to let it stay were it is and let it develop its self

Congrats on frags from Leishman... Brad I strongly urge you get into the habit of water changes... many people get by without them but not in the sps world... it's just a matter of time before it will bite you in the ***. I hope for our sake you don't avoid washing your hands when you're making the pizza:D Seriously... change some water...

There's Ricordia florida which you should spend no more than $12 a polyp on if they're real nice, which is what I have a feeling you got from Roozens. I too recently picked up a Ric from Roozens, but it's a hot pink yuma I got for just $50... these typically go for about $175 if you could get your hands on one...
Anyway, I have a great site I got many of my floridas from that now has blue ones on sale for just $8 a polyp... a steal as blues are tough to come by and usually pricey... oranges seem to be coming in much more often nowadays...
Yeah but nice yumas demand much higher prices here than floridas... e-mail me if you'd like that site... Roozens is weird... their prices are fantastic on most things, but a few things are abnormally high... it's undoubtedly because the owners don't follow the market... I got my peppermint hog for $75 and my efflo colony for $38... go figure...

don't efflo's go for like $150 i remember you saying you got a good deal on it but that is basically stealing it!..lol....yours is a very nice colony too...that would fetch maybe more than 150 locally

The price on efflos has gone down a bit since they've been importing more... but nice colonies still go for over $100... Mine they called an "encrusting montipora"... seriously... Roozens sets their sps prices based on shipping rates and not rarity of the coral because they import direct and pay the same for all... this is nice bacuse you see nice stuff that would have been cherry picked in LA before we ever saw it... This was another $38 find... A. austera
