I stopped in again to snag a cleaner shrimp. My yellow tang had been swimming up to every fish in the tank and doing that "clean me" posture. The flame hawk thought he was nuts.....
When I got there they had just received 5 boxes of corals.
The boxes were all opened but not put in tanks, so I didn't want to really poke at them ( fishstore etiquette ).
I planned on comming back later, but they said go ahead check out what's in the bags......maybe the owner will give you a deal on an unopened bagged corals.
It was really hard to see what was in the bags, and they had no idea what they were getting ( they didnt order specific items, it was a 5 boxes of misc. coral order ) but they seemed to have some really cool stuff.
There were one or two SPS in there as big as your hand and a plethora of other unidentifiable mystery corals , I picked out a large bag of what appeared to be polyp rock and got an exceptional deal from the owner.
I thought it would just be a humungus brown polyp rock.........but it turned out to be very colorful Zoa's !
There are "lime" ones and "lime" with orange centers which I have dubbed "Fitchburg Freaks"tm.
I have to stress that this is not a fish store, it is a PET STORE that happens to have some salt tanks. While looking at fish you may step in parrot crap. There are puppies and bunnies and kids running amok everywhere.
They don't have a wall of sparkling acrylic tanks.... there is no clear labeling system....no super filtration systems.....odds are you will see dead fish.
All of that stuff doesn't bother me that much but some people may not appreciate it.
