Everyone should dip and QT... just saying that DD does this to all of their livestock so you are less likely to get pest than someone who doesn't...

I already have AEFW and red bugs in my display tank (my only tank) unfortunately, so it makes it easier and less stressful to acclimate new corals. I have AEFW and red bug population control methods for my display tank.

I am 32 and not married so impulse buys are easy at this time in my life

OK it came in. It is slowly coloring up. It was brownish/grey when I first put it in the tank. I have it in the upper half of the tank. High light and high flow.

Pictures below are approximately an hour after being in the tank. You can see the green slowly appear. I will post more pics later. It looks really nice in person. The pictures do not do it justice.

I cut three frags off of it as "backups" in case something goes wrong. I positioned the frags in different light intensity and flow areas of the tank to try to get a feel for what this coral likes. One of the frags is going to go into a buddy's tank as an additional safety precaution. So far it seems that high light and high flow are the best, the same as I have read about other Microclados.

One hour after tank introduction:

Looking good but I am sure its only going to get better as it colors up to the tank lighting. Good luck with it and nice pick up.

Wow that is a great peace. It does suck after u realize the damage in your account, but look at it this way it will pay you back when you beside to frag it. so really it is going to make a great addition to the tank, but people are going to love it when they see it in your tank and be blown away.
