careful with the gsp, i had some in my old tank and it spread to everything like weeds. couldnt get rid of it! make sure you keep it on its own rock, or keep and eye on it and keep it trimmed.

I was told about this place from a girl at my LFS and I "liked" his Facebook page. They are moving to a bigger building and selling off as many frags as possible before the move.
I picked each of those out and wished I could spend more... Rarereef is the name on Facebook. They are in miami |

They look swell, mostly Zoas and GSP (Green Star Polyps). Careful with those, they grow like Xenia. I hope you like them because soon they will be everywhere
I avoid GSP and Xenia these days, shame cause I do like them. They just get soooo overwhelming sometimes. I have a small tank though.

As long as you feel like you got a great deal, that's all that matters.

Def +1 on the green star polyps. We just bought a frag (for $15 at LFS) and hasnt spread badly YET, but we've been warned of the same thing. We are planning on using them and xenias across the back glass. Our LFS has their 750 gal tank like that and we love the look of it. Ours hasn't spread off the frag plug yet though
 LOL go figure we WANT it to grow like a weed and its not haha
