We got our 32 pound box today!! I also had to move a lizard tank, replace 10 bulbs over my 200 and rearrange our living room. So, while I took "unpacking photos," I haven't taken any others. Tomorrow, if I have time after Angie's ToDo List, I'll get a bunch of pictures taken and posted! We got lots of amazing looking corals! One thing that's always impressed me, about Cherry Corals...as amazing as their photos are, when we go to their website, to look at the corals we are unpacking, our corals look identical to their photos! Their photos are very accurate representations of what you receive!

Amazing order that came in today! Got my darth maul favia, candlelight shroom, and plutonium fields. :)

Just curious, what's the plutonium fields? I thought it was a mill at first and it's clearly not.

I thought it was a milli when I purchased it at the wholesaler but I agree its something different. We have it in a spot that gets about 275-300 par and its loving it.

I love the pink tips on the colony shot, how does one get those tips? Mine doesn't have any sign of it. :(

That's a good question... Those pink tips disappeared about a week after fragging them. I haven't really experimented with higher flow or light on it, its possible that could bring those colors back. My best guess is that this is Acropora spicifera or Acropora seriata

Hey guys just curious if you sent out the gift cards from the contests. I'm looking to order some things and wanted to wait until I received it.
Thanks

Green mamba and blue fuzz will take fairly high light. I have them under 250-300 par. Sunset likes the lowest, about 150-100, so bottom of the tank most likely.

The ora purple stylo likes moderate light, middle of the tank should keep the color looking great.
