I have seen the orange torches in person (not my thing personally, but definitely out of the ordinary) Never have seen even a pic of Purple Duncans... that may be pretty sweet...

thanks! did the orange torch you saw have bluish tips?
i went ahead and ordered both. i'm a sucker for the rare and unusual pieces.  ...even if they are a drain on my play funds!  |

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

will do. for sure.
i have been having fun with the lps lately! tomorrow morning i have an orange wall hammer arriving. recently i've picked up 4 different cyphastreas and also quite a few frags of acans, favias, and a nice aussie hillae. i am waiting to find the "perfect" scollys to make a stunning trio...we have a really unique 4-headed (!) neon orange aussie scolly piece at the store that REALLY needs to end up in my tank at some point, but even my cost on it is well over $500. it is going to have to chill in the show tank there for a bit.  |
