Rose w/green base milli. I thought this one was a A. abrotanoides at first...

CA tort

Couple of other millis. Check out the one in the front. I've seen rainbow monti before, but never a rainbow milli. That one in the back is a stunner also; $10 frag at a LFS (guess where I'm heading later today? :lol: ).

Purple monster

Have yet to see a plating monti like this.

Another Cyphastrea

Wild superman. This thing rivals and is actually brighter than the real one and huge.

Sunrise (reverse sunset) monti. Another slow grower for me.

Another unusual monti. Came in as brown with blue polyps. The new leading edge is morphing.

This thing is like a mix between a chalice and a moon coral. Forgot what the name was, but this thing requires lots of space. Produces white stinging tentacles at night and will nuke anything within 3 inches (took out some of his acans before he found out; it's currently nuking a duncan 3" away :blink: ).

Definitely nice eye candy.

Bath's (hooded fairy wrasse if I'm not mistaken) are super nice - I'm actually looking for a pair

Sure looks like it. I think he mentioned that there were four of them and he took the male.

You want me to source them out for you?

They are expensive - I know the a single male is roughly $329+ according to DF&S.

They are one of my dream fish to have.

I don't think it was even close to that figure (like as in ballpark even) when I asked him about that wrasse. I'll let you know once I find out. ;)
