Looks good. Start it in the shade, then over a few weeks move it to your desired location.

Thanks. I will do that. Right now it's in the sand and it seems pretty happy. I want to move it to a rock eventually though.

correction on name: this appears to be "alien eyes" although it doesn't seem to have a green rim like others I have seen.

On a side note, my hands down favorite stores are the ones that have no idea what they have. That's when you find gold
