    thanks! i cant wait to see what it looks like under my lighting, hopefully i'll be able get better pictures once the lights on, and i think the bowfront might throw the coral off a little bit

    yea, the only other birdsnest they had what just a tiny pink one *very pretty* but i didnt want something that small. Lol i wonder when i should start fragging the birdsnest, might be an easy coral for me to learn on.

    yea, the lfs has decent price on fish too *cheaper than livea* but they didnt have any. they said they havent been able to get tank bred bangaii cardinals in for a while, only wild caught, i'll have to check my other lfs if they have tank bred, and if not order from livea

    I wanna say petcos are tank breed for some reason, But youd have to figure that out from their distributor id guess.
