My guess is, this was a frag from somebody's tank so its not a big deal...however, that's the WRONG attitude to have. The more we save stuff from the LFS the more it will be replaced. If we try to "save" every critter that we don't know if we can keep then we're just taking more critters from the ocean that shouldn't be taken...get it?
For evey Anemone that some idiot buys from his LFS, that same LFS will replace it. For evey Blue Ribbon Eel that some idiot buys from the LFS, that same LFS will try and replace it...see where I'm going here?

Thanks for the fast response guys.
You picked one of my very fisrt starter sps. Your going to have fun with that puppy. Keep in mind that they grow very fast and take up lots of room. I know it sounds like I'm kidding but there will come a time when you wish you never put it in your tank jst like I did but I wouldn't have changed a thing. Is a great coral.
Your tank sounds like its ready for sps
Thanks for the nice comments

Nice digi Tanksalot! I put an orange one like that into my tank a few weeks ago under 2x175W MH, and it just keeps branching and branching on my. Golfish is not kidding with how fast it will grow.
Keep taking pics of it, and you'll be amazed at how quick it grows! I know I am with mine, and it's only been in the tank four weeks.

Good point. However, a LFS would not want to sell everything he keeps restocking for $4 when they start dieing.
