A new score!
So I needed to get out of the house, I mean mail a package at the airport, and decided to do some perusing at one of the LFSs (I will not name which one). I wasn't even going to buy anything except an impeller for a mag pump. Well, I had to look around, and I almost bought a green lobo they had which was awesome! Unfortunately for the lobo, I happened upon this little coral, and well, I couldn't pass it up. 
The main branches have a mint green tint to them, and the then it has brownish/purplish tips. This thing is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Once it's treated, I think I'll have a nice place for it. 
It didn't seem right only posting one pic, so here's a pic to another coral that I've had for a while. It's an acan rotundaflora that I got for "free" when Mike kept "badgering" me to order corals with him from Reefermadness.

It wasn't a WoF, although I did stop in there. For the first time I can ever remember, they actually have acros! They didn't look the greatest, but they had them.
I would also like to thank everyone for not commenting on the hair algae/bryopsis farm in the background.

WoF always has Acros when I stop there. But like you said, never all that "gotta have." The prices on their stuff just blows my mind.
So that leaves 2 LFSs in contention.
