Default Wow!!!

I just picked up my coral order at Red Coral and all I can say is wow!
The new colonies are huge!

A couple of photos for you. (Trying out the new Canon XS SLR camera)
Note: each of the colonies are about the size of my hand!

Red Milli




Unknown?






OK, I am a long way from taking photos like Jdigital...but you get the idea.

Couldnt find a spot for that thing in your rockwork? Yes we were rather pleased with this shipment. Not sure if that last one is a monti? Might be a porite of some kind.

They will make their way up to the top of the rockwork in the next day.

You are correct Doug, it does not look much/anything like a confusa..
If anyone has an ID for the second coral it would be appreciated...

The Monti looks good now, but I hope you are right and it brightens up more.
All the polyps are out so that is a good sign.

I believe the second one is not a monti at all but a porites.

That mille should colour up nice....

I agree, this shipment is very nice. Picked up my 3 yesterday and they are coloring up nicely in my tank and the polyps were out almost right when i put them in. Thanks Kevin and Doug.
