Hey everyone,

While I was up at the NHL Winter Classic this past weekend I of course managed to pop into a LFS in the Pittsburgh area. The store was called AquaWorld and was a very large store with tons of exotic fish and beautiful coral.

I picked up a few frags:

Purple Montipora? Anyone have the specific latin name ID for this one? Its a green base with purple rims and green polyps, almost like a pokerstar but it looks like a plating variety. Also this is the only picture that is photoshopped, this coral is visible in other pictures with a more accurate representation of its colors under 10K daylights




Red Polyped Montipora? Again ID would be much appreciated, as I picked these up outta the $5 frag tank and they lacked labels



Some nice zoo's and a purple mushroom(?)



Acro frag ID?



Some older corals that have been added but weren't from this treasure hunt



My massive blue bellied coral banded shrimp and my acro frag



Full Tank Shot for December/January

    I'm not very good with id's, but I can say that the gsp on the top of your rockwork, I'd probably take that off and move it to a dedicated rock or something on the floor. I had some that spread like wildfire in less then 5 months! Went from like a 1/2" square frag to covering a 5" rock and trying to reach out and grow onto other rockwork

    I appreciate the ID, I knew that it was GSP, I just got frag of it a few days ago from a friend and this weekend I think I'm going to put it onto my removable overflow grill and let it grow there for a while so I can get the nice movement and color (these are really really neon green) with the ability to control the growth and easily frag it when I think it needs trimming. Thanks for the ID and for looking at my pics
