Very nice lookin' Blue Justin. My blue actually moved a large turbo snail that was getting too close to his burrow!

On a side note, Yesterday I was at my LFS picking up some supplies. I asked the owner if it would be O.K. if I could get some LR rubble, for my Blue Spot. I bought him from this dealer btw. He says sure, hands me a bag and tells me to look in his storage bin where he keeps his big pieces of live rock he sells. I pick up a few pieces and some "dead" coral fragments.

When I get home I noticed 1 of the fragments looked like it still had some life to it. It is a green candy cane and looks like it had about 7 heads. Most of the heads looked lifeless , but 1 head looked kind of puffy. So I put it in my tank and fed it some brine shrimp. To my surprise, it ate it right away and I saw tentacles on it! The other heads are still showing quite a bit of green color. My question is, will these come back? While they are showing a lot of skeleton, they still show a lot of color! Could the color I'm seeing be tissue? Any ideas? Thanks!
