I stopped into Aquadome today to pass the time and I saw this beautiful coral. I thought it resembled an efflo, but wasn't sure ( it didn't look too much like the one Mike had, the branches are fat!!!) So I looked at the price list and sure enough it was labeled as an Efflorescence. The price was outstanding and the piece looked nice so I took it. So if it is or isn't let me know!!!

Also the fish selection was outstanding today. I have never seen such a variety in his store. He had at least 6 different wrasse species, tangs and a fish that looked like a jet black bangai cardinal and the biggest Candy hogfish I have ever seen. Really nice selection!!! If you can verify the coral I'd really appreciate it!!

I'll take a better pic tomorrow. I don't think I've ever seen one so purple !!! This piece is about 6" long and maybe 2-3" wide. It was a real steal. I just hope it makes it. The polyps have already started coming out and it looks good.

The quicker you sell frags to other the better others are off. ; )

I like the way they re-did their coral tanks, too. The wrasse tank is awesome. I was in a week ago and I bet there were 10 small wrasse species with several unknowns.
