    Just got one today! I was talking to the guy at my LFS about acros and other assorted sps and he said you know what you gotta see and he went and pulled this out of their 1200 gallon display tank. He said that he had been hiding it for his own tank and said that he had a crash and it would be a few months before it would be ready. So he decided to let it go to a good home.

    Thanks. I'm really excited about it. I also got an acropora spathulata. I didn't get to take a picture with my camera so all I have is this iPhone shot. I'll post another later on when I get home.
