1000G Puffer Display

With no water in my system yet I shouldn't really be looking at corals. But when my LFS is 3 hours drive each way then when something like this comes along locally you grab it!

I'm hoping if I stick with soft corals I have a chance with my puffers.
A guy quite local (1 hour drive) wanted to make more space in his tank so decided to get rid of this awesome colored cabbage coral.

Weather was terrible today but wasn't letting this get away.

And when it looks like this after traveling I can't wait to see it open up.

It's now in a friends coral tray waiting for me to get ready.
 
My golden and stars stripes were LPS lovers. My porky never touched anything. Just have to see what we end up with. I will trial them out in the aquarium room before they graduate to the main display.
 
Or you could just go for a reef tank [emoji3] muhaha yiur size tank would look sick full of corals [emoji3]
 
Easy maybe depending on the corals [emoji3] Expensive in Norway for sure [emoji3] but worth it yes for sure

There you go, starting trouble:rolleyes::p:D:D:D
 
You knoooooow @Desmond has a point. a couple of nice real corals would be the finishing touch on the system.
 
Mark, if you were in the states, I would hand delivery them just to see the house!!!!

I did not know there was a cabbage coral. I am looking for trigger, angel and puffer safe corals too.
