I just brought home a bright orange one and was wondering what color morphs people had.

I saw this one on liveaquaria.com, but I was wondering if anyone had something like it... the colors are amazing!!

My camera is with my g.f. in Georgia for two week so I'll post mine when I get that back.

I want it! I have seen a few in person but never have had a change to buy one

Here is mine, doesn't have great color though.
You can see the darkened part in the foreground (2nd picture) where my Emerald Crab was snacking on it - caught in the act! It's recovering but beware because I've had 3 Emerald's that liked the taste of it, probably 50% of the ones I buy like to nibble on it.

Emerald Crabs = Bad! Mine was eating my shrooms, zoos, and xenias. Luckily didn't touch my frogspawn or blassto though. I heard that the males are much worse than females, but I'm not going to have one in my tank again!

That is a nice one from Live Aquaria. I'm with Downset in that everytime I have money for one there are none to be found. When you dont have money, there they are!

I mainly keep emeralds because they keep my bryopsis under control when it pops up. So when I buy them I just have to keep an eye on them for the first 12 hours or so, specially when the lights go down to make sure they don't nibble on my plate. If they do they go to jail and I exchange them and start the process again.
