Just curious what everyone got? This was my first one in a while that I had actually bought anything.

I'll post some pics later. I bought two cans, a blasto and three named sps. RRA Ultimate Orange Passion(1), CC Pink Highlighter(2) and a JF Jolt(3)

I got a Super happy RBTA that had green, blue and pink, a Dragon Soul torch and a super cool Yellow Sea cucumber for my 5.5 nano tank :) ! Then from some very generous BAR members I got 2 types of gorgonians from @Arvin R, a very chunky Gorgonian from @Srt4eric, a Nexus joker nem from @SupraSaltyReefer for DBTC, and a Goni from @popper for DBTC! I had a blast! I will post pictures later!

Got a Scoly and a chunky Garf Bonsai from Tin/Coral Exotic. LPS contest prize helped with that purchase.

Also got an aquacultured hologram hammer from Rudy/Golden Basket Corals. Not fully open yet so no pic, but it's nice.

Been saving up little by little for cfm for a few weeks. Mostly I was looking for budget friendly named corals this time in the different cagetories. (coral Budget was $200) I was mostly successful keeping all the corals $200 or less excluding the claim that I picked up below.

Zoas:
1.) Pickachu zoas
2.) Aoi zoas
3.) Exospheres
4.) Red zoanthid I forgot the name of them let me know if you know ?

Man those look insane the acanthophyllia as well. Placing that red one in center makes them all stand out more with the color contrast.
Thanks man also congrats on all the corals you got today especially for that price you got a deal.

I was luckily able to make it with 20 minutes before closing time. I brought my 11 year old daughter and her friend. I told them to find their favorite coral (in the past this has been expensive). This time she found this large green coral. Not even sure what species, but for $20 I’m willing to give it a try!

Just a guess but many sometype of branching montipora setosa.

Just a guess to be clear.
