New Gem can you guess what it is?

[m and m]

Got this in the mail yesterday after a two day hold up so i was biting m nails off hopping for the best. It came in a little stressed but i think all is going to be well, Here goes a little teaser tommarro i will bring out a real camera and take one for ya guys and gals.

Really hard to tell. Firefly or Flamethrower perhaps? Hard to see as the eye is not colored. Hard to tell if the white stripes are some skeleton showing through or whether it's part of the coral. I'm stumped...lol

 

[m and m]

lol It's not the flame thrower or fire fly. The top left did show a little transparent skin that looks like skeliton i have never seen that before but i have also never recieved a chalie this stressed.

Extremely hard for me to tell since no picture(s) are popping up. I know its a chalice though!! haha PIX bro!

 

[m and m]

It's that rising sun Ian released a little bit ago. It looks kinda sad in that picture but im gonna take it out from under the rock it's under for a little show off. It is one of my fav's in the tank as of right now.

Aaaah.....nice pick up. I'm sure you'll get that thing nursed back to health in no time. Doesn't look too bad actually. A little more time in the shade will likely help it heal. The full colony shot from Ian is insane!!!

 

[m and m]

Yea, it has alot more red shimmer to it. I have never seen a chalice with a shimmer like this it's almost like a matalic paint job. The hole left side though is clear have you ever seen chalice skin like that?

I thought it suppose be green with purple stripes.

Odd, my pictures aren't showing up from Photobucket either.

m and m, did this get delayed from the snow storm? I had a order from Ian a few weeks ago for some tables, and neither one made it. Good luck, hope it turns around and looks great.

No thats a diffrent one ill send you a pm on the info.

which Ian are you guys talking about? Reef Odyssey? He's a cool dude and i'm glad I live so close to him. The picture showed up this time. That little guy looks like a lot of potential. where can I see Ian colony shot?

yeah, thats the one I'm taking about, I assumed the OP was as well. I wish I lived closer...actually, I wish I live close to any decent coral shop.

 

[m and m]

Yea this came from ian over at reef odyssey. Also yes BTK this was the piece that got a delay in memphis and took two days. The other package made it just super late.

I'm extremely fortunate. I live near Fantastic frag, Reef Odyssey, and stewarts frag farm. and for LFS Vivid aquariums is only 40mins away!

Now I see what its called the raising sun.

 

[btkrausen]

That sucks. I've been fortunate enough to where I haven't had any shipments like that get delayed. Still bummed about the two tables that didn't make it, but Ian is shipping me some more soon, one of which is an efflo. Super excited about that one

My boss is trying to get me to move to Plano, TX, right outside of Dallas. Maybe if that happens, I'll be closer to some premiere shops.

There are a few decent ones, nothing fantastic though. All my coral in my tank was either purchased online or from frag swaps. Me and a couple other guys hit up all the swaps within 4-5 hours, like Indy, Cincy, Nashville, Columbus, OH, and more. Its funny to see a lot of the same vendors at most of them.

As for salary, they'd have to increase since cost of living would be higher, but it wouldn't be a huge deal. I'm consider myself fortunate for what I make, but I'd never complain about a raise
