New ultra Crocea

Lfs had this guy in for a steal! They got him either last night or two nights ago. Don't have a picture in my tank, just what they posted on the local forum.

Thanks! And it was accurate under their AL sols but not sure how it'll look under my 14k halide

He's finally fully open. Seems to like where I've placed him.

That crocea is a beauty! I have seen a few like that on DFS Diver Den but never at an LFS. Can I ask how much?

saltyhog · Feb 9, 2014

There was one similar on DD this week but it wasn't as nice as yours. It was going for $249 as I recall. You said you got yours for a steal. How much did you beat DD? (don't have to answer if you don't want to).

Thanks! I was certainly surprised to hear they got an "ultra" and expected just a brighter than usual crocea. After taxes it was about 125$. I actually almost bought one last week of divers den haha. Good things come to those who wait.
