the red shrooms were a steal $5 for the rock there are 6 shrooms on it anywhere from dime size to half dollar size they werent open much in this pic.

#7 My rose hammer coral this was a must have for my fiance she didnt even balk at the price of $85 it was her idea I almost fell over cause i said how much it was and she said and why havent they bagged it yet Gotta love her.

Of course the pics dont show the color as well as in real life it has a beautiful pink tint to it.

Thanks again guys for all the nice words they really boost the confidence of the people who put the hard work into creating an enviorment such as the ones we reefer knuckleheads are so obsessed with . Now speaking of kids I took my daughter to the LFS the other day and upon walking in she sees the owner and says Hi Matt and runs over and gives him a hug. She kills me he says so what are you here for today Alana and without skipping a beat she says I want an anemone he says really she says yes and it better be purple or daddys leaving. (Meanwhile im crawling under the carpet looking to hide) Matt looks at me and winks and says well we cant let dad leave without going broke first Now i'm thinking whatever i wanted is going to be double in price but good old matt went to a display tank that has been running for years and says we've had this to long any way and proceeds to bag this purple BTA. And i know they usually will charge me about $60 for a specimen this size. roughly 8in x 6in Dude grabs the bag and writes no charge on it. while my jaw is on the floor because i always get a discount been using these guys for years so i have a good repor but FREE 8O all i could say was thank you he then looks at my daughter and says what else would you like and she again without skipping a beat says I want Nemo to hug the anemone he says done pick them up on monday any kind you want again no charge so come monday we will have a brand new pair of Maroon clowns I said you dont have to do that he says you heard the lady she wants nemo to hug the anemone how can i charge for that. This guy is so cool he is having them special delivery for monday morning because he doesnt want to have them acclimated more than once Keep in mind his normal delivery day is tuesday so hes paying for shipping seperate orders just to make this little girl happy this is the kind of LFS i wish everyone could deal with it makes the hobby so much nicer plus it keeps the children in the hobby and in this case it keeps $130 in dads pocket so there is my daughterism for this week enjoy the thread ill post more pics shortly.

That really rocks. People like that make the world go 'round!
