Awesome scores! Been looking for the Joe the Coral myself! All of them will like the top 1/3rd of the tank with a good amount of flow. Just be sure to start them lower in the tank, and them move them up. I too have the Garf P Bonsai and I will have some Red Planet whenever fragging time comes. I really like that Joe the Coral. Where did you get it?

What it comes to placement and care all Acros are the same for the most part...

Well the joe the coral and Garf tony i got from a guy in Ohio. He was selling them on ebay but i just emailed him and told him that im not really that interested in bidding against people on something i really want. He was cool about it and said that i can get a frag like those for $20 for the Joe and $30 for the GARF. They are about 1/2". The red planet i bid on and had been watching this guy sell frags half the size of the one i got for $60 on ebay. Nobody bid on the one i got and i guess i just got lucky. I bid on that red planet and the superman frag i showed you guys and won them both. The red planet frag for $15.75 and the Superman for $18.25. I was blown away that i got them for that CHEAP. I picked them up. If you want Tony i can hook you up with the guy i got the GARF and Joe the Coral from. Shipping is $28 plus $2 for any additional up to 5 frags. Let me know

Here is the Superman i got for $18.75 or so. This was the pic on ebay but as of then I poped it off the cookie and glued it to a small piece of rubble for a more natural look. It looks much better and ill post new pics soon. I HATE frag plugs and cookies they look sooo UGLY IMO. I did the same with the Joe the Coral and red planet but the only exception is the GARF. Im leaving it on the frag plug only cuz its encrusted over and i dont feel like messing it all up as i know its a very slow grower compared to other acros.

I bet the Red Planet came from Mr. Coral. I just won a frag of it on Ebay as well. Should be here tomorrow.
I am with you on the frag plugs, I have a few in my tank and they will stay only because I don't want to upset the corals that are on them, but no more.
