What you haven't checked out the other fine establishments in the area? Shame....lol

Actually, I've tried egg tarts from the bakery next door to Gold's... not bad.

That's quite a road trip. Have a safe drive back.

The corals and the maxi mini are all in the aquarium after acclamation and some have already opened. I really loved one zoa which is fluorescent orange color. Will upload the photos once they all open up. The maxi mini got hold of my finger really good with its leg and had hard time getting it off. This one is extremely sticky than my other one. But both of them kinda looks the same

I will have to see what color the new one shows once it opens up fully.

That tang looks AWESOME!!!! And the chalice looks really scary :P

so far so good, and keeping my fingers crossed.

However, I also believe I got the fish that was in his display tank for a few weeks with it physiologically recovered from shipping/capture... so not a fresh import. He had recently turned one of his back display tanks into a frag sale tank. He's got some good cycled live rock for sale from that tank too.
