Trip to Miami/zoas

[flricordia]

Back from Miami trip to P/U bird. Didn't stop too many reef shops along the way like I had planned. Did stop at WWC (highly recommended) and some really sweet corals there but don't know if it was from being tired from the drive or what but because there were no prices on any of the frags and each of the 4 pple working there giving me different prices I became frustrated and didn't buy anything.
In Miami with the bird in cab and the heat like it was couldn't do much shopping.
Not much in the way of high-end. Did stop by Morgan's and picked up some nice stuff. Love the blues and also got a few sps to give a try.
All in all though and being a single guy enjoyed the search for the corals, and the ladies down that way are super, super sweet.
Also stopped by Groupergenius place to crash on the way back. Can't wait to see the new tank build he is doing come together.

I think they are called Galactic PE, but not 100% on that.

You dirty dog....You coulda hooked a brother up with those first ones. LOL

The last one's are really close to Tubbs looking. Just different lighting.

Is the bird acclimating?

I always hate when shops dont have prices marked. I know its tough with rotating stock, but makes me feel like I am being price gouged when I have to ask.
But nice pickups

It is easy to just mark the price on the glass. Wish they had done that. I know several places that do and even though some prices are at time difficult to match to which coral it is still much better than not having any price.
That is how I did feel. As though, depending on the mood and and other factors of the person I was asking, it was a chance thing as to what price I would get the coral at. For all know, one person could not much care for my looks and charged more and another not cared and given less price, but whatever the reasons, I was given too many different prices to bother with it.
Actually turned out to be a nightmares trying to find the place in all the traffic Sat and wasting over an hour travel time. Orlando...not for me.

I told you I had gotten them, but thought you had some very close and you didn't say anything.
How are the blue ones doing?
