New Colony

[minibowmatt]

I picked these up a two weeks ago. I hadn't gotten around to snapping any pics until tonight...
This is an actinic only shot, I messed with the white balance, and it came out kinda cool. Its Blue, with peach oral disc, and green skirt.

This is another new frag

I will try to post some pics again when the halides are on.

Nice zoas!

Those second ones are sweet

Very nice Matt...can I ask where you scored them?

 

[JGoslee]

Matt those are really nice. Did you get them locally?

I got the top one at WPA in Southhampton. The bottom frag I got in a trade with a guy from State College. I picked up about 7 zoo frags from him, that was the first decent picture I got. More to come!

Thanx. I really like the first ones.. the polyps are huge! some bigger than a nickel.

I got my new colony from Fraggle Reef yesterday. JGoslee and I split shipping, and got some nice stuff.
Here is the main colony I got:

I also picked up a frag of his cotton candy palys, and he threw in freebie (maybe PRPE?)
Jesse hooked me up with a nice frag of cat eyes too. (sorry no pics on those yet)

The new colony looks sweet Matt! I'll get some pics of mine up today.

im very happy with it. I gave it a good FW dip, and cleaned all the detritus out from between the polyps. It is a very healthy looking colony. No signs of disease or rotting polyps. Great pickup!

 

[JGoslee]

I gave a good 10min dip and then put in the tank. It was open within minutes of being in the tank.

very nice guys.. I'm glad it worked out for you guys.. it's always nice to save on shipping and get very nice stuff....
