The prices posted here http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=36 are pretty close to what I can get them for. My old ones were Volitans, but the new ones that are coming are a Zebra and a Radiata.

Updates

Well it's been awhile since the heater incident...lost lots of corals, but on a more positive note I lost all the bryopsis now. That's right, it's all gone I have a few new additions as well, so here are a couple of shots of the new guys. I'm still waiting for the Radiata Lionfish, not giving up on lions! These new fish are totally an experiment, but I have seen many success stories with them, so I thought I would give them a try. The PBT didn't like his new tankmates so he is chilling out in the sump. I quess he spent too long by himself and totally decided the tank was his only. I hope to be able to reintroduce in a few more days without incident.:doubt:

Does that Racoon pick on your SPS or clam?

What ended up working to get rid of the bryopsis?

Keeping a very watchful eye on him, Dang has one that has been a model citizen so far, and ate all of his mojanos. Mine went right to work on an aptaisia. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Nikki,
I'm not really sure, right after the zap from the heater it stopped growing, maybe coincidental but that was when it disappeared.

Your tank is still looking nice Todd

Hey Todd,
Tank looks great! good luck with the copperband! I just wanted to say sorry for taking so long to return your cooler, but I did drop it off at Toms place the other day...

Keep the photos updated.

No problem Matt, I figured it would eventually make it's way back home. Hope it helped with the corals. CBB is doing great, he was at IR for some time so I figured he had a pretty good chance of survival. Now the Raccoon, that's a different story, he just came in so it will be hit or miss for hime even surviving let alone being a good reef citizen, there pretty much hit or miss.

Racoon gone, only took him a few days to start munching on the LPS. Wish I had Dang's luck with that Racoon, his is doing just fine and eats all of his mojanos. I have been able to reintroduce my PBT and she is now getting along quite well with the CBB. In addition to the success of getting the PBT back into the tank I have received my first Radiata Lionfish! He has been staying in the sump for the past week and doing great! Still now weened to frozen but doing great. Here are a few shots of the new arrival...

Here is a recent shot of the tank with the PBT and CBB together.
