New SPS coral added

Found a coral at the LFS and it had no price on it.  When I asked, the guy said $10 bucks.  He said it was Pocillipora but it also resembles Birds Nest coral, too.  We’ll see.  I thought about it and walked around for a while, but kept coming back to it.  So I bought it.  It was quite blah under their lights, but after I got it home it looks pretty good.

I saw the smallest Pom-Pom Xenia and had to have it.  I’ve kept it in the past with some success, but wasn’t sure if the tank was mature enough to sustain it.  Anyway, here it is.

I also tried propagating a Yellow Polyp that I found spiraling around in the bottom.  Not sure how it became detached.  I took a piece of old live rock, broke a chunk off and glued the polyp to it.  It didn’t opened for hours, and when it did it was terrible looking.  I hope it makes it.
