thanks for the links they gave me some hope. I decided to give it a try and see if i can have some luck. The thing that gets me is the mis information i had recieved at the store. If i had known the survival rate i wouldnt have bought it. But it is too late because of my own neglegance in information on the species of coral, so i am thankfull in sites like this so i can get more information and hopefully keep it alive. so far things are looking good exept my clowns are hosting in it.

This is one of the lessons that we all must learn. Do your own research on what you are buying and don't take the word of the LFS for the truth. I like to go in armed with my reference books now. I leave them in the truck, but if I see something I like that I'm unfamiliar with, I can go look it up.
