Here is a look at my new coral additions. Purchased from someone who lives in Hawii. Shipping them to me on Monday. These are the pics of them, hope they look that good in my tank.
Were these the ones that were on RC?
That’s correct. I worked out a really good price with the guy.Its too bad he is getting out of the hobby, he has some really nice corals.

Sorry that was me wiping up the drool from my keyboard, can’t wait until my sunset gets that size
there really nice but i think there are much better sps then those. how hard are to keep? still nice coral though
They are not hard to keep at all. I just started collecting montis, and besides he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
You would be hard pressed to find some nicer SPS than the montis that John (houndsbayman) has. Those orange ones were amazing!
Shipping from Hawaii? That’s got to be expensive
Thanks icy, the ones you are talking about are setosa. This is not my particular frag, but this is sweet.

I think your new montis are super cool. I just got a frag of setosa. It is really nice. How fast does your grow and how far down do you have it in your tank?
i know he has some very nice coral. i just dont like the color. i like bright colors. the setosa look nice.

My setosa frag is about 1/2 way down in my tank and the color is awesome. It isn’t growing fast. But when I got it my lights were due for a change, so I installed new bulbs and I wiil watch to see if growth rate increases now.
the second monti with the green tips resembles the tree of life…nice corals
The first pic is of a superman monti and the second pic is a sunset motipora. Usually when you see someone selling these corals, they are frags of them and only like 1/4 -1/2 inch in size. The seller told me that the superman is @ 3inches and the sunset is like 5 inches.
But what did shipping cost?
I don’t know. We agrred on a set price and shipping was never mentioned. I’ll check the package when it comes on Tuesday.

Thanks for the info. I think I may have to move mine down a little. I have it about 9" down under my ATI fixture. I have found that I have to place corals lower in my tank to keep them from lightning, even if they were under 400w mh before. I think the T-5 lighting is stronger. This may be because there are no shadows.
so what did it cost for shipping and how are the corals looking?
I really don’t know what the shipping cost from Hawaii. The frags took from Monday evening til Wednsday morning to get here. The superman monti is looking very good, and the sunset monti is not doing well at all. The sunset was very stressed out after shipping, and now about half has died off. Hoping it will settle down and start to get back to looking good
My sunset took AWHILE to adjust and it really starting to look nice now
