I just couldn't resist...
Yep...went to the LFS last night. I always say I want to just go see what they have, pick up some supplies, etc. Inevitably I come home with something. Since I have had my eye on adding a Xenia to my tank, I bought a small frag (actually two) and added it to the tank. The back side of the rock has a second stalk that extends down from the main stalk to the smaller area of the polyps. It made the rock placement a little difficult. Since my daughter was with me, she convinced me (she's 6, and very good at arguing a point) that we needed to get the skunk cleaner shrimp while we were there, too. I was happy to see that they had constructed a new wall of SW tanks in the fish area. One had numerous show piece fiji rock, with corals still attached. They wanted $15 a pound, which is ludicrous to me. Nice looking stuff, tho. Here are the pics:
