they were both encrusing the rockwork of the guys tank, so I'm assuming that's how these ones will grow too...and thanks...I hope I feel better soon too ha ha

Looking good, just need a little growth on those bad boys and then you should have some real nice colonies.

that's what I meant to ask you...what's the usual growth rate for these fellas?
I've noticed that the RPE's already have 2 small polyps developing at the base and I'm pretty sure I see a couple more on the Jokers than when I left the shop for about a week.....
I hope they fill in quick....personally I don't have a problem with a tank of well placed frags waiting to grow in etc, but they boys at the shop are hella impatient

I'm pretty sure Chalices are quite slow growing. At least they are for me.
I've got four pieces and they've grown very little in a couple of months.

I know chalices tend to be slow growing but the guy said they are growing quickly in his tank....
I meant more about the zoanthids though...I want more of the red people eaters' for crying out loud ha ha

well.....Ernie "accidentally" bought a Yellow Eyed Kole Tang.

Oh well, good looking fish, nice and fat, beautiful colors nice and active and already picking at the glass....

So much for having a tang-less tank ha ha

I sure wish *I* had someone else to pin my purchases on. I've been eying a sohal, naso and vlamingi for the 97g lately but nobody to blame when the @#$% hits the fan. Hmmm...
