Very nice pictures everyone.

Justin, that single little polyp is really pretty.
Joe, Awesome little colonies, I really like the baby blueish one. Very diverse color collection.

Anyone have the LE Flameboy blasto from reefkingdom.com?? I saw a similar one last year locally and fell in love with it, not for sale of course. Then I spotted the Flameboy on the reefkingdom site and immediately purchased. Should be getting it next week as long as they still have it available (just ordered late last night). It is really gorgeous on their site and I am looking forward to adding it to my only other blasto in the tank. Just wondered if anyone else has it and how it grows, if it keeps its color, etc. My red and green blasto from page one is actually getting more colorful. The red is just popping out with the neon green being very bright, such a lovely contrast in the tank. No babies yet but I have only had it for 6-8 weeks. It sure can eat though .
Keep the gorgeous picturess coming.

Uh-Oh...guess I should have asked first then ordered if the reviews were good. I Usually do check things out first but I heard pretty good things about them over the last few months so I figured...well you know how it goes. I ordered three frags of the Flameboy blasto...we shall see. From the looks of the picture on the website they look fairly large so I am kind of surprised to hear how small it is. I am looking forward to your pictures.
doc, When mine have a few babies I'll trade ya

Beautiful blastos.
The yellow/orange is spectacular. It reminds me a little of the Flameboy....okay not quite, but in the same ballpark of color morphs. Getting the orange or yellow in a blasto is sweet.

The Flameboy blasto arrived today. Here is a shot of it before I even stuck it in the tank, this was immediately out of the bag, deflated, and a bit stressed. The color is awesome. I can't wait to see it once it is all settled in and plump . I am extremely happy with this coral, definately as good as it looked online at Reefkingdom.com...even better

Thanks Brock and divecj5...just amazing colors, huh?? It looks like the Flameboys are no longer available on the ReefKingdom site. Brandon had said they were on sale and the price was going up on Saturday. I don't know that the price ever went up but they were off the site by Sunday. I guess they release a few frags at a time and then let the colony grow out a bit more before having them up again. I'd just keep checking back, they look to be quite worth the wait. Today they are puffed up ever so slightly, still looking a bit haggard in general though. They may have been cut to order so they really need to heal. We shall see how it goes over the next few weeks.
