Gulf of Mexico corals available

Richard, thank you for the C.A.R.E. package! The beautiful hard corals you sent had their polyps out in a couple of hours. I will post pictures of the different corals as soon as I get them off the camera.

By the way, I got popped on the finger by a pistol shrimp while unpacking the corals. It stung for an hour afterward. I've been hit by a wennerae and ounce for ounce the pistols are much nastier.

Was it one of those ity bitty yellow ones with a little red in the smasher claw?

They get me all the time, 1/4 of an inch long but with a big attitude!

Yep!

Attitude is right! Do you need new gloves? Got some in, let me know...

Now for the pictures

Here are 2 coral colonies on 1 rock. Note the coralline growth...


A different rock, with same type of colony (Tube coral? Richard please identify)


This flat rock had some macroalgae:


Round rock with 2 types of hard coral and lots of caulerpa:


Another colony:


An EXCELLENT hard coral colony! I almost crapped myself when I saw this one


This is the rock where the pistol shrimp popped me.
