New alien eye echino frag finally...

I finally talked my friend into fragging his bright purple and alien eye green echino. It has an awesome green growing edge. This frag is one I'm holding for a friend. My frag is much bigger, but I mounted it to my reef in the back and can't get a good pic of it. I think you can get the idea though.

Thanks, It's the nicest echino I've seen. I think I have or have personally seen most that are out there and I can't say there are any nicer...Well, maybe the watermelon...

No, I because I paid him a smaller fee before he fragged. Originally, he was only going to frag one piece for me and not frag any more. We did some trading with other echinos and I gave him money at that time. He then decided not to frag it at all. Finally, I talked him into getting me a piece and he "fragged" a couple extra by accident. Anyone who has fragged an echino will tell you; it breaks where it wants to. Which in the end is why he didn't want to frag it at all. I think he sold them all now, but I'm not sure. My neighbor who has the pink and green lord just bought a piece today and I think Jake was getting one....

This is a better pic of my frag. Only bad part is I didn't get a growing edge, but that nice green edge will come with time...
