no problem! I hope you get some really nice ones! When I was first starting, I jumped on any zoo frag...in my mind they were "hard to get"....boy was I wrong! I have some lovely different shades of...BROWN, Brown mottled, light brown with peach.....ugh...was I wrong! There are some very very cool ones! You'll have to post pics when you get some!

UPDATE...well after quickly adding NUMEROUS acro's....I had red bugs. That totally sucked. Once I figured out that I had them....and read and read and read, then bugged a few people for their experiences I tried treating the display for them. I removed all the hermits that I could find and sorry to say the Peppermint shrimps were too hard to catch, and I have now treated the tank twice. Not a red bug to be seen.....really easy to do, and effective...and the hermits that were left behind...they perished along with the shrimps...but I don't have any red bugs anymore. So now my motto "Q tank for any Acro corals" of which I have set up in my garage right now with 250w halide, skimmer, etc etc. Why on earth I didn't do it before?! At least the treatment was easy and effective. The only bad thing that I experienced other than the hermit and shrimp deaths, which I knew would happen, is a lovely diatom algae bloom.....but that should go soon enough....and hey, if I had any bad hitchiker crabs in the tank..they're gone now!

Hey Colin....not yet, not due until tomorrow. Then it will be done! I know I have to treat 3 times as it is not known how long the life cycle etc is...some people treat once, but I am following Marc's (Melev on RC) recommendations and Borneman's page....and doing 3 treatments, 1 week apart then carbon after 12 hours. So far so good..I have some polyps coming out that were absent before which is a good sign!

Rather frustrating bringing the bugs home eh? Brilliant to the guy who come up with the treatment though. I did the whole tank treatment (x3) from the RDO link about a year ago and not one of the little buggers since.
