Jon,
Got it from another reefer that shipped it to me. Was tough to track down but that picture was taken a minute after unbagged...very pleased.
Also fragged three red planet frags from the colony

that is cool. What did you pay for a frag that size if you dont mind me asking? My boss at Seachem recently purchased a frag of this coral from the shop in CA. They always seem to have them available, but man do they want an arm and a leg for frags. The guys certainly have something unique in that coral, neatest acro growth form I have ever seen!
Wicked,
see below. This butterfly is supposed to be the best chance at a reef safe buttefly.
the Tahiti butterflyfish is reef compatible with caution,” says Mark Martin, director of marine ornamental research at Los Angeles-based Blue Zoo Aquatics. “The consensus is that this fish is a model citizen about 95 percent of the time in a reef tank.” Martin, who has observed thousands of these animals both in the wild and in captivity, recommends the Tahiti butterflyfish to aquarists who have glass anemone infestations in reef tanks.
“While there are other animals to consider for biological control of aiptasia in a reef tank,” says Martin, “this species is one of the best. It is far hardier than known aiptasia-eaters such as the copperband butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus), and it is at least as unlikely to pick at ornamental corals. Best of all, it eats the aiptasia every time!”
