[jeffreylam1132]

You guys are all gonna need the luck, because Crystal is in it! Base on her FTS, I'll be all worried. :a36:

 

[barbazoid]

The only way anyone can beat crystal is if thee rest of her coral grow around and shade out the frag.

 

[jeffreylam1132]

Hahaha, totally. Even then if that happen, she'll probably still win. Hahahahahaha BTW, her tank is definitely magic because I got a few corals from her and all it does is keep growing and all my other corals stay the same or die off. She got the magic touch, alright. Good luck, fellas...........

There are 14 frags/competitors left. Cruise by if you can today or tomorrow.

If you are looking for other SPS, we have about 1,000 frags in the tank...probably more. They are $19 right now but if you get a few we can bring the price down a bit. Really coloring up nicely too.

 

[Six2seven]

Ron you're awesome. I walked out with so many frags for such a great price.
