Great looking corals @kevgib67! Is that your first cynarina? You're gonna love it. Those dudes are shape shifters with a great personality. I have seriously been thinking about adding another one.

I love their corals and their service, their prices have just gotten insane, and they've gotten a bit gimmicky with the sales. They have some nice corals though. I have a bunch of them in my tank.
