Have you guys seen this or best yet experienced with these 2 kind of acros. Please share your experience and the lighting you have I am thinking about getting these two at ultimatefrags but don't know if they would hold the red polyp color.

I am not sure but it looks like the pink with blue-tip hyacinthus (sp?) that have been coming in lately. Reefer Madness seems to get them with relative frequency and the red usually holds but the blue tips might not. The second one is a more common color morph, I have seen a few species (most of which I dont know) that seem to hold that color.

you know I've been seeing a lot of corals comeing in lately with these "pastel" looking colors to them. Any chance these are being collected from deeper waters?

one question...how do purchase the corals...do you have to contact them because there is no "buy now" button or quantity.

Do you mean Ultimatefrags.com, Rommel usually puts "sold" label on the discription part of the particular frag, otherwise there should be # of frags available marked. The best thing I guess is to email or call ahead of time to make sure the frags you want is still availble.
