Tony, you didnt just pick that up yesterday, you scored one beautiful piece of... coral! Haha!

Even if the middle shot is the closest to real color, it still looks unreal! I've seen some with more lame-coloured stalks, but slightly more purply polyps, but this one is a slightly different shape, and it has a nice stalk!

Great snag!

Chris

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm really surprised it hadn't sold by the time I saw it. It did have a more plain look to it at the store, it just looked like it had a hint of blue. When I got it home on Monday I was amazed to see it open like that after 30 minutes in the tank. Usually corals sulk on me for a few days. I hope this is a good sign for longevity.

Here are some recent pics of the others.



Closeup of the purple plume on the right:


I didn't get the colour quite right. The flesh is a delicate purple that doesn't show up well in pictures.

I also have a few others but no pics online yet. I'll try to change that tonight (need an excuse to exercise the camera anyhow).
