Very good Mike. 
This thread is open to everyone! Post pics of your LPS, just give the common name (and classification if you know it) along with it.  |

yeah....with some...they change so much.
I remember the first time I saw someone's pics of their candy cane's under actinic's...then looked at my trumpets, and was like....wait...the guy that sold me this must have had the wrong name....cause mine don't look ANYTHING like that!!
Then...looked at the tank one night after lights were out, and said..."WHOA! They changed shape!" hahaha
