|  New Button Polyps
 well im starting alot today!!
I got these guys a few days ago, but wanted to wait for them to open up fully before I got a pic. They ate zoo plankton last night, and look great today. It is a nice big colony too. I always feel like I rescue corals from the LFS!! They always open up, and have better coloration in my tank after a few weeks. I guess that is a good sign my tank is doing good. Enjoy!!

Excellent polyps! I have really been wanting to get some button polyps myself! I have never tried them but I'd bet their easy. Plus I always feel like the pricetag at all my LFSs on those is too high. Maybe I'll just give up tomorrow on my day off and pick some up. Who knows. How much were those? If I can ask......
I know what you mean about the frag thing! Since I got my MHs and a few frags of mine have blossomed, thats what I really like buying. I have like 5 frags right now but all of them have just BLOOMED. I love it! It really instills a sense of acomplishment! _________ 125 Gal Reef.

I got the rock with like 35 polyps on it for 25 bucks!! I think is was a good deal. Most places have the around 30, but the LFS down here dosent know what they get sometimes, and they always get large frags. Ive noticed that after they have been in the tank for a few days, they are starting to get greener. Mybe they have just beenin low light to long. I mite have to put a few in my other tank with the t-5's, lol. | |

Nothing better than to watch your pride and joy flourish and have everything live in harmony so to speak! Growing and spreading corals are the best! | |

oh yea, they you can frag and sell so they pay for them self in no time. I love this hobby too, you can trade corals and get stuff for free, hehehehe. I got a blue candy cane from Monkey on its way, and I already have someone that wants a frag, . Let us know if you get any buttons Brandon!! I bet they will thrive with your MH lights! | |
