Space Invaders arrived. Run for the hills!

Today is a special day for me. I finally received my Space Invaders Pectinia.

I have been searching for this beautiful coral for a long, long time. I finally decided to drop some coin and make the purchase.

I couldn't resist the flourescent green coloration with speckles of gold in the eye.

This coral is definetly one of a kind and my favorite pieces.

Look at the SI sitting up on its 2 inch frag disc.

I can't wait for the feeder tentacles to come out tonight.

Here is the free Pink Cadillac monti frag

Very sweet pickup, Wesley, and good size frag too!

The texture on these looks awesome...am i correct in seeing that it has tiny raised bumps that fluoresce all over it?

It's hard to describe how these look. To me they look like green pixilated fluorescent dots. Really a one-of-a-kind piece.

Good luck with the specimen! It is gorgeous!!

What a great piece. Great addition to the tank. The pigment is one of a kind

I knew it was only a matter of time! I too am looking for a piece. :)

The tiny raised bumps is just the flesh sitting on the skeleton, I guess.

The Space Invader reminds me of the candy cane / trumpet coral. At times the flesh will expand and appear blown up and other times the flesh looks deflated.

Yes, this coral truly is one of a kind.

About one after I placed the SI into my display, it settled in and the whole flesh is now speckled bright green.

The flesh did deflated, so I can make out the skeleton, but I am loving the color.

Good luck with the specimen! It is gorgeous!!

Thanks, I will need the luck.

This is the First time owning this coral, so I hope tokeep it for a long time.

Yes, I agree, this really is a great addition to my tank.

I can't wait for it to grow into a nice colony.

Darwin, I saw two sponsors selling a SI last week.

I know Ian from Reef Odyssey is selling a frag.

I forgot the other vendor's name.

space invaders is an awesome coral.

 

[buddythelion]

They're not hard to find for sale, but def a collector's price tag! I just love the colony pictures that I've seen of them.

Congrats on the nice pick, you got a really good looking piece.
