Stopped into my LFS today and found these guys. Decent sized frags for $14.99. Almost bought one on impulse, but decided I should make sure I knew what I was buying before I purchased. Any help is appreciated.





Also, sorry the pics are blurry. All I had was my phone cam.

They look like Yellow Button Poyps. Per LiveAquaria:

The Yellow Colony Polyp Corals are colonial animals with several individual polyps attached to a piece of live rock or coral rubble. They are bright yellow in color and their polyps have the ability to sting other polyps or corals. While the sting is not strong, they are semi-aggressive and need to have space between their colony and any neighbors.

Easy to maintain, the Colony Polyp Corals require a medium light level combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, they will also require the addition of iodine and other trace elements to the water.

They will reproduce easily in the reef aquarium by budding (splitting off a portion of their base or mouth), which will increase the size of their colony.

They contain the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae which provide some of their nutritional requirements. They must also have additional feedings of micro-plankton or brine shrimp given to each individual of the colony.

Very easy to keep, should spread as quickly as GSP given the right conditions.

My suggestion..... keep them isolated. They will get everywhere and are a pain in the ass to remove

I would also say that $14.99 is a little steep for one of the most entry level corals around. Idk what prices are like around you in general but this is one of those frags that someone would trade or sell you on the CHEAP.

Just mho

$14 for that frag i think is too much. i say that because i use to give them out for free to my customer. you can find them for cheap if your looking for them else where.

+1 to yellow button polyp..

i got 2 polyp for free from my lps the other day..its very easy to keep...
