Ive got this coming in tomorrow. This may be my most alien like of all my alien corals. A very good friend helped me find and get this gorgeous fat head dendro colony. Im excited but a bit nervous to try my first NPS coral

Gorgeous brother. Make sure and target feed it daily though since it is a NPS coral.
 
I agree! And they shouldn't let companies hold the paten or whatever it's called for so long so that others can't make another version of it so it can be sold cheaper. I know there is a word for that but my brain isn't working at 100% right now.
Your exactly right though. That's something that could be reversed. A pill goes from $100 to .10 when it doesn't have a fancy name or a goofy commercial with a bunch of people dancing and singing in it.
 
Amazing John, wow! That glitter goni is soo beautiful. My gonis are doing great! I'm not home right now but tomorrow I'll try to get pictures!
Thanks Walker. That one was a freebie believe it or not. Glad you AND your gonis are doing well. Im looking forward to seeing your photos

Yep he is going to require some heavy feeding. This one doesn't require quite as much spot feeding as most nps though. In fact it can be overfed and food can rot in the skeleton. We'll just see how much it needs. I gave him some fish eggs yesterday which was a huge hit.
