Reefer Madness
I don't know what this talk is about photoshop picture's but I seen first hand what there corals look like and the pictures don't do them justice!
Linkia Lyd had ordered three corals from them and all I can say is "WOW" "WOW" and damn nice coral. They arrived the day she was told and instead of 3 bags she has 5 bags of coral; they gave her two very nice coral ones a acro frag purple and not sure what the other one is she's trying to email or call them today (to me it's some sort of acro).The MH has not come in yet we where told this wednesday I sure hope so. Linkia Lyd ordered Chocolate shirts zoo's, Yellow leather (Sarcophyton elegans) and the color on this leather is awesome (bright yellowish green) right now there under normal lighting waiting on PC's for that tank as well. I will post pictures later.

I have been meaning to update my thread! Now that the corals are in their permanent home and starting to encrust . . .. their colors are starting to come back and I have to say, I am nothing but pleased!

May I recommend a FRAG pack! But follow their directions if you get one. Have a piece of egg crate where you can lay them until they acclimate to your system. You do not want to mount them immediately!

This might sound silly, but what do you mean "mount them"?

As excited as you may get when you get new frags in the mail.......
Trust me - it is not a sexual term in this instance.

He means that you do not want to immediately glue them to what will be there permanent home. Generally a rock.

Now the next question is - Why?

and that I don't have the answer to.

I really couldn't WRAP my mind around that one......

You use glue? I wouldn't know how to do that? Is that a good thing? So if someone was selling a single rock with a double frag, he could have glued them on?!!

Sure - I use super glue gel. Works great.

Rock with two frags? Could very likely be a glue job. (not that it is a bad thing). It's common practice.

Go to frags.org. There is a rock with two diff frags. Nice looking too. I am suppose to hear back from the guy. Should I ask him if he glued them on or would that be insulting? Still learning Reef Etiquette.
