They were asking $59 for it, I said, pfft I'll give you $50 if you can hold it for a few days... Robert says, sure, $10 a day room and board.. lol

I'm pretty happy with it, it opened right up in the tank, ate some brineshrimp.

Good luck with it!

I hope it colours up a bit for you - I think when it first came in, it had a bit more colour, but I am not sure.

It was looking good today with in an hour of getting it home, nice and green, it's hard to tell in the picture.

I'm looking at one of the Frogspawn they have in there, really nice stuff.

Nice score Doug! :cool:

It's a little bit bleached ... but it looks OK so far. It will darken up if all else goes well.

Cautionary note -- brine shrimp is not great for long-term, S. haddoni is a fish eater. I'd ramp it up slowly but eventually you want to feed it pieces of maybe silversides, mysis, small pieces of fish from the supermarket, etc.

Good luck!

Tony thanks for the heads up, I've got silversides, krill and mysis so it wont go hungry, I just fed the tank some brine shrimp because I find if I keep the blue legged hermits fed they wont rip the polyps off my corals.

I can't get a descent pic of it, the camera will either flash and bleach it or the pic looks dark but, it's got a nice green colour to it, not a dark green but still I'm pleased.

Thanks for the comments folks, I feel like a proud father again.
