Chelsey · Jan 31, 2008

I just ordered both of these today from Totally Exotic Corals and I am super excited! :blob8: Does anyone have frags of these? If you do, post pics!

I've had the hawkins about a week and a half, don't have any pics. pretty much green with blue tips.. ive got a few acros that look like the phils' so i didn't pick one of those up.

I am jealous... My LFS has them all (but the pearl), but has them marked at $90 and $100... I can't justify that to myself...

i'll have the Hawkins on Friday along with an unreleased frag from ORA, NOT EVEN NAMED YET !!

Whats the unamed one look like? any idea?

Verde is there newest one i believe, and its nothing to write home about.

Hawkins blue is amazing...ive got a tiny tiny piece, but my buddies hooking me up with a frag straight from ORA...

I Love Phils Granulosa too, so many different shades of green.

Dustins Deepwater is another really sweet one.

UnNamed ORA ...

I have both as well, they are both nice. My LFS only got 1 hawkins so me and another reefer split the frag for 30 each.

the new one is pretty sweet, it is purple with green polyps. that pic is about 10 minutes after i added it to the tank, and the color on it really stinks right now. i will try for a better pic of it in a few days. i am sure it is pretty stressed from shipping to the LFS to a new tank, then me bringing them home to another new tank, all within 48 hours. it DOES have great polyp extension though.

the bubble algae is FINALLY starting to die off. i have been battling it for the last couple of months. i think we popped a couple of bubbles when we rearranged the rocks. i am thinking about removing it all and torching them off. i have enough in the sump to rescape the DT if i need to.
