Surprise!!! Thank you Drew! - Page 2

I have been all over the internet researching these FANTASTIC corals! Drew, you and NorthEastCoral picked the cream of the crop with these. Your generousity is astounding.

I haven't decided where my final placement will be, so for now they are displayed front and center in the middle of my tank.

I feel like the luckiest girl alive.

Just a word on the sinularia, it loves flow. Mine is directly in front of a Hydor 1 powerhead. If I move the pump the sinularia leans and stretches to get back in the flow. Also medium to high lighting will help keep it's colour.

Thank you Matt! Then it certainly won't like where I have it now. I will move it up closer to my hydor koralia and lights. By the way, nice ID on that. I wish a camera could capture the NEON yellow color. I've tried different settings and they just don't do it justice.

I would move it up slowly over a couple weeks time. Don't want to stress it too much after shipping. That and I'm not sure what lighting/flow conditions Drew had it under.

ID was easy, I have the same coral. You're right, the camera can not capture it's true colours. You can see it on the right side of this picture.

Wow! What beautiful corals.
Bery generous of you Drew.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melanie definitely deserves that! Great job! I need some better frags to send to her...

Thank you Christopher, Matt & Lynn!

Drew, I posted about your FANTASTIC corals on another site I belong to, and I thought I'd share the response with you as well.

I've been looking for some duncan heads ... :-( ... haven't seen any locally.

Everytime I look in my tank, I get this giant grin. Everything is doing so well! They seemed to love my tank immediately. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they shipped considering how cold it is up there! The heat pack must have kept them snuggly for the cold half of the trip.

I would give NorthEastCoral the highest recommendation. Your specimens are beyond compare...healthy, gorgeous, and full. The packaging was superb and mine was just a gift!

i want in on the stuff....i lost my 5yr old sinularia...he just started to melt...it was soon after i had to get rid of my maroon clown that was hosted by him (clown killed 2 carpet anemones with OVERATTENTION. and he pouted and withered.

Melanie · 12-16-2007, 11:26 AM

Wit, did you check out Drew's site? He's got some killer pieces.

Nice Selection-Nice Duncan!

grinch · 04-16-2008, 01:46 PM

Wow!!! just checked out NEC website.

Very impressive, and in my neck of the woods! Prices and selection are "the bomb" I cannot say enough about the advice, help, and spankings (yes I deserved them) from the constituents of Reef Sanctuary. Being an old fish grower, burt a newbie at reefing it is overwheolming to know there is support for this fantastic hobby/obsession.

Sincerely
