here are my new corals!

first is full tank shot
second is frogspawn w/ purple tips
third is toadstool with a little one growing off
any suggestions on how to remove the smaller toadstool? i was just going to use a razor and cut it off at its base then attach it to a small rock with some string. will this be okay? thanks, and enjoy

I love the plates,but i haven't had great luck with them.I am a big fan of the bubble corals also,but i love shrooms and zoos,there is such a big selection of colors and very hardy corals.

puffer - love the orange plate! my lfs has an orange one now for $40, very tempting
salty - how exactly does the frogspawn grow? does it grow new branches? is it fast?

i dont have a pic at the moment actualy. i jstu got it this weekend, maybe tomorrow ill post one though!!! I went to my LFS just to get an emerald crab, but they had these, and they are my fav corals. They were selling them for like 120 bucks though!!! i only expected as much.... i asked the guy if he could frab one and id jsut buy like 1 or two polyps. He said no, but he did show me one that was damaged. It have 2 or 3 perfectly healthy polyps, and about 3 or 4 not so good ones. and the rest was skeleton. he sold it to me for 40 bucks, which is still pretty expensive, but i paid because i love blastos so much, there were still SOME healthy polyps that i knwo will grow out, their retail was so goddamn high, and i dont think ill ever see a blasto for that price again.

they like medium lighting and medium flow. I have 192 watts of PC over a 40 breeder tank that they seem to like. I am probably getting a metal halide system for my birthday on the 24th however, in which case, there is only one metal halide on my 36 inch tank, so they will be fine on the side.
