Check out these colors! WOW

I swung by Reef Depot after work and wow did I get a deal. Mark is getting a huge shipment tonight of more corals and he needs to make room. Everything was marked down for the sale and he was giving a free frag for every colony you buy. I picked up 3 of them. Here is the first one. I got it for 50$

He has wild and cultured colonies. There are tables there as big as a basketball and some multicolored stags that are a foot across.

I will post the other ones I got on this thread in a little bit. I am playing with the new tripod I got for Xmas. I will try and get a couple full tank shots too but the lights are going off soon so I need to hurry. Thats why I didn't even shut off the pumps for the pictures so please excuse the blurryness.

Ted

I stumbled across this forum last week and discovered reef depot. I called Mark and went there yesterday. Nice place, awesome corals and Mark is really cool. I'm new to this hobby and he took a lot of time teaching me which corals were best for my tank and the best placement for them. So much better than the LFS.
