I love finding a good deal!

I found a nice little Acro colony for $18 at my LFS. Also had a little Acro crab on it.

Dipping for good measure...

Green with pink tips!

[Alattner]

wow what a score that was a great steal. nice color on Acro and great looking crab

 

[skinz78]

Very nice score indeed!

 

[VelasCorals]

Yep, I took the crab off the colony and then dipped the coral. Wasn't sure if the revive would kill him. He's a funny little guy and wasn't happy about me taking him off his home.

awesome pick up, I love Acro's and for 18 bucks what a deal! nice crab too makes me want to go shopping!!!

The revive most likely would have killed the crab.I guess you LFS doesn't dip the coral since the acro had a crab in it.good thing you dipped it,can never be sure of anyone or any store.nice acro especially for $18.I never get that lucky and get the acro crabs.Those are the only kind of crabs I want to get ;)

I use Revive for everything and closely inspect everything for egg etc.

The acro I got looks eactly like the one in the first picture.

Great score.
I like getting deals like that, but they don't come around that often.

That is probably the first deal I've found after 25+ trips to the LFS in my area. I don't have a lot of room left in my tank so I'm pretty picked about what goes in next. The fact that it looks awesome and was super cheap is hard to beat!
