New Addition

I recived a very rare and unusual frag from Uncle last night. It is a frag of a Montipora Setosa, that is very rare and very expensive. I did not want to have to pay for shipping from Califonia, so my Dad carried it home in his carry on bag. Here is how we pulled it off: we used a gatorade bottle, some electrical tape and a couple heat packs to help it stay warm on the 6 hour flightOnce it arrived I quickly opened it and put it in the tank. It was a very small piece, which is verysmart, as one would not want to risk shipping a large several hunderd dollar colony. Here is the first pic of it, about 24hrs after putting it in the tank. It is very blurry, as It is so small and hard for me to get a good shot. It is pinkish orange and very pretty.
I googled it to find more info, as i did not know much about this type of montipora. I was shocked to see how rare it was and how expensive frags can go for (like 75$ for 0.5 "). Here is just one price for a small piece with out shipping

I am very happy to be trying my luck at a rare and amazing coral :)
