how are you
I saw that you have several dan frags (tck), and I plan to travel to NY, how about dan corals?
Is it worth a pack of acros?

On the other hand, are you in Miami or Orlando? I travel to Miami I think in a month and I would like a pack

Dropping some serious $$$! Pictures or it never happened! Don’t be selfish I want to see the unnamed coral!
I don't have it yet. I didn't want to take it as a fresh cut, so I go back in a week to pick it up.

I got this from a buddy as Christmas Mirabilis. For some reason mine gets a little bit of orange on the tips and the growth tips are blue. Sometimes I wonder if it truly is. Have you seen one look like this?

There seems to be a lot of very similar pieces with different names. Christmas, Fuego, Dippin' Dots, Red Planet and I'm sure a few others I'm missing. Doesn't look like the classic Mirabilis. More like the UC dipping dot IMO.

Not sure exactly what is , But I am sure that it is beautiful, healthy, and has classic shape and structure.
I think the solid red, blue, yellow [and maybe even green] color pieces are the ones that can catch your eye from across the room. A bright Red Planet or Christmas Mirabilis can easily be the center piece for a reef tank.

So true.......if a coral doesn't stand out 4 or more feet from the tank it's not a true eye catcher. All those corals with minutia type colors that can only be seen with macro pictures are overrated.

Maybe I'm just obsessed but that's pretty close to how I view my corals, lol. Most of my corals are in frag tanks in a garage. When I want to see them, I grab a viewer box and look at them top down and up close.

Looks a lot like Pink Floyd no?
Edit: looks great like everything else
There's like 20 corals that look like pink floyd. Here's three off the top of my head.

- Pikachu
- diabolic pacman
- wwc what the heck

Topic isn't fresh in my mind it seems, I used to remember aot more than three!

let me know when you go get it. I have to pick my stuff up soon. I'd like to see it
Its my birthday this weekend and we are planning a cookout. We are waiting on a family member to see if they have Saturday off. If they do I'll pick it up Sunday and if not, I'll grab it Saturday.

I think a lot of yellow ones look similar when they are small. I feel the difference comes out when they are larger. I have the Pink Floyd but always struggled with the yellow.
