I decided to take advantage of the free shipping after a $99 order that SWF extended until Monday...I needed a few miscellaneous items, and threw in an ORA Marshall Island Blue Bottlebrush. ANYONE HAVE ONE????
I thought I needed a "blue" coral LOL......It does not list the "scientific" name, but I think it will look pretty...I will get this Wednesday too (I hope)

i have one, but it mines pale right now. they're very sensitive to lighting changes and swings. it should have a bone white base with blue tips when its fully folored

Very pretty! The only place that I could get mine to stick (stupid super glue gel adventure) was up high and it did start to bleach quite a bit. Unfortunately, my urchin also loves blue and would not leave it alone. I think it's dead behind my rock work somewhere ;(

Yes I guess you can but looking at them I would say it looks more like the second one that I put there.. But it would be better when you do get it so you can compare it to the pics of the different ones.. I just had to go looking at different types of acros and such because I wanted to know what it was also.. Cant believe that I might have helped you ID something woot woot LMAO

LOL...see this is how you learn.....When someone asked a question, And I did not know.....I looked it up...
I also read a lot of threads that have nothing to do with me (at that time) cause in the future (and this has happened) that info may pertain to you :)

Yes I read every new thing that is posted.. Because I want to know and learn.. I also want to know what the different corals are. LOL then I just go looking at other sites at different corals and see if they look the same.. LOL I love the research part of it that is why I have been doing it for over a year, but soon very soon I will have my own tank set up YAY... the stuff that my sister ordered me will all be here on Friday. SO there will not be much left for me to get and I will be doing MY OFFICIAL TANK BUILD THREAD!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!!

Oh don't you worry there Ms. Meowzer once I get everything I need for my tank, I am going to start my SWF library and get advice on some good books. I Had Planned on that from the start, I have read lots of stuff on line by lots of people that have been suggested here, but want to have those books in my own hands.. I know I know I should get them before I start anything but I will have time seeing that I will have to wait for my tank to cycle.. I want to have the information at my fingertips and I don't mean looking it up on the computer I want the hard copy in my hands. Those 2 books will be going on the list of books that I am going to get...
