Nice pics Rob. I hope you sell some Blue tort frags at the next auction.

Hey Rob, in the picture of the Peach Acropora Hyacynthis on the lower right corner, what is that, it looks beautiful...do you have a better pic of it?

If you end up selling any frags of the blue tort before the next auction let me know

It is Montipora Palawensis. Very pretty encrusting coral with yellow green bumps and very small purple polyps. I don't have any good closeups of that piece right now. I'll keep trying.

As for the Tort frags, I sold two mounted frags this week for pickup at the meeting on Saturday.

I will probably offer another encrusted mini-colony of the Tort at the next auction in September. If anybody wants a fresh-cut, unmounted frag this week, or any time before the auction, just shoot me a PM.

AtlantisAquarium is offering frags of this for $100 per 1/2 inch. The last piece I sold at auction sold for $50.

I have one frag available that another person has dibs on. If that deal doesn't go through and you are still interested, then maybe we can work something out....

I think that one is my favorite coral in my whole tank. The pic doesn't do it justice. It is gorgeous.

Blue Torts are not typically very hairy. The polyps are small and range from green to purple.

In my tank, none of the SPS polyp out when the lights are on. My Coral Beauty sees to that.... ;) when the light go out, everything opens up.

Looking nice Rob.
