|  Made the leap--own two corals now
Well, all. After much preparation, I purchased two hardy corals.
Here they are, a green polyp (what I think is a zoanthus) and a rock with a few purple/blue mushrooms.
I'm happy to report that they both look fuller and happier/healthier in my tank after 24 hours than they did in the LFS!
Woop woop!!

Nice mushrooms. We have a rock about that size and the number of mushrooms has nearly doubled in five months. Also, once they become fully acclimated, probably a couple of months, they will get huge. Ours get so big, they entirely cover the rock they are on and the rocks on either side.  _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

Sure ya can! When I asked the LFS guy, he said $34.99 for the zoas, $40 for the shrooms. I offered $70 for both and he accepted.
