Nice score. 50bucks for that large of a head seems like one heck of a deal!

your tank is ugly, you should take it down and ship it to me.

just kidding, looks awesome as always, congrats on the new sps.

I don't know for sure, it may be some variation of one of these species.
A. turaki, some type of staghorn, possibly a bottlebrush of some kind, or maybe nasuta variety. I'm just guessing. Tank is still looking very awesome
. I am completely green with envy.

my friend has his reslae lisence and DBA along with a web page Front page the wholesalers are interested in the fact that you have your resale lisence and a DBA setup other than that they are golden .... opnly one requires that you actually own a fish store the rest dont but they do have minimums such as Walt Smiths Pacific Aquafarms which is the one i go to mostly since they have the best corals IMO.... there minimum is only $100 so its easy to go there but others are $300

At aquafarms, they let you go there as long as you spend more then 100+ dollars?

I have the same problem.
Beautiful new coral!!!
Don't mean to high-jack this thread but I need your opinion on something. Does this before/after picture look encouraging? It's a frag from a pink Birdsnest. First pic was taken 2.5 weeks ago and the last picture was taken two days ago.
BEFORE

AFTER

I think I'm ready for that beginner SPS frag pack!
Just let me know the cost and I'll send you a check.

Is it a Blue Turaki? I was looking on a website that sells SPS and I noticed one that looked like yours. I'd post the picture but it has the name of the company on the picture, I'm pretty sure that's against the rules. A 4" Turaki was listed as $130, so if that is what it is you got a steal!
