Ahhhh. The blastos, They are cool corals but they are hard type of coral and the skeleton is very brittle. I think i might have lost 3 or 4 heads just a moment ago because my emerald crab was picking at the rock i had them wedged into and i was trying to grab a zoa frag off of it and managed to hit the blastos on accident and they fell to the sand. Well as i was trying to wedge them back into the rock i think i was crushing some of the heads that were on the side and top :( I didnt mean to. My fingers were feeling all slimy afterwards and i felt so bad cause i might have killed a few :( I am hoping all will be ok and they are not dead but they probably are. AHHH. They are so tiny also. tHe ones my lfs has. 4 HEADS $70.00. But the heads are like twice the size of the ones i have now. and they are blasto merlettis too i beleive. Look identical to the ones i have just a bit bigger. Maybe these get bigger as well i dont know yet. But wow 90 bucks is high also. Your a big baller though nwydr so i am sure you can do it. And as for cutting each head. I dunno. I would imagine you could but seems like it would be a risky move as how brittle they are. I knew i should have glued em to a piece of rubble and placed em into a better place than where i have em :(. I pray tonight they will be ok tomrrow.

Ok so here are some of the new zoos. Sorry the pics arent that great. One of the frags i lost due to a crab knocking it off and behind all my rocks :( Ahhh. At least it only cost 5 bucks. We here they are.
The reds in this pic are the new zoas.

With Flash

Yellow Center and the Red Skirts are 2 other new zoa frags

pink zoa frag here. Two polyps that i glued on that are not looking so good.

LOL RebelPrettyboy, That is a yuma that attached to the shell while it was on the sandbed.LOL.
I mean come on hermit crab do you gotta choose the shell that a coral attached to. I mean maan. There were like 5 other shells he could have chosen instead of this one but i guess he wanted a designer shell or something so he is always going around my tank with this yuma on his back.LOL. He has pretty much killed the coral this way i think. But i dont. The coral looks pretty bleached. I mean it was pink to begin with but i dont think that light

Thanks thanks. I like the pic without flash as well. Brings the colors out more :) Yes that acan lovessss to eat. It even opened up today during the day for me to feeed him. he is becoming a beast. LOL. it is starting to lean over the sides of the rock it is so large now. Its starting to grow significantly i like it. Once i figure out and get enough courage to frag it i will do those pieces first since they arent on the lr. Should be easier i think. But i dunno. hehe. But yes i love the acan. and i got it for 40 :) WOOT WOOT. cant beat that. They have another nice one there also for 50 but i think it might be the same color so i didnt grab it and they had another peachy looking colored one for about 35 or 40 with about 6 heads. i think i am gonna grab it next time and throw it into my aquapod. Well thanks for the comments.

Great FTS! Glad to see the blastos eating, that about guarantees you that theyre doing ok, and still recovering from shipping. Acans are great too.

wow rebelprettyboy, do you know how many different zoas and palys i have ? LOL. That would be like 20+ different frags. How much do you think i could get ? I mean i am not too sure how to do all that or even ship the things. Enlighten me on how to do all that ? I would seriously like to though so i can buy new and more rare things to be able to frag and help everyone out :) hehe. I am thinking highly about getting some darth mauls and some other rare ones.
