New Acquisitions
Frags from Frag Factory. Pictures were taken maybe 45 minutes after being put in the tank. The purple SPS was named as millepora, but it doesn't have the look to it. Can anyone take a swing at it?

Sweet zoos. When you're looking to offload some extras of those once they've all grown, remember me buddy old pal.
  Hard to say on the acro ID. It might well be a milli that's just sulking after the shipping; we'll know better when it starts extending its polyps out a bit more.

Thanks all. A good fragging will be in order for everyone in time.. I won't forget
 On a sad note, I lost both SPS frags. They both RTN'd overnight. I don't get it... I floated them, did everything correctly... and then bam, they're bone white. Oh well I guess, a lesson learned: Don't order SPS online? The zoos are doing great however.

Great looking zoos.
How long did you drip acclimate the SPS for? What total water volume did you add? (equal to the bag water, double, triple?)

I admit I didn't drip very long. But the bags the SPS were in were the very small , tiny bags meant to hold one frag in. So it only took about 15 minutes to get the same amount of water in the bag from the tank. I only dripped for about 25mins (i know, tsk tsk...) I am sure a lot of it was my fault.. but I had floated them for a while, then dripped.
Anyhow, I am very happy with the zoos and I think I am going to order more very soon.

How was the temp in the bags when you received them? IMO, getting the temp up slowly is more important than matching the salinity...at least in my experience.
Sorry to hear about the RTN, thats the worst, especially for exciting new stuff
