O.K. who got them and what were they?
I got a lavender/grey anchor (Euphyllia anchora-looked purplish in the shop, looks grey in my tank but still pretty gorgeous), wish I had a digi-cam, sorry. Ahh true love.

I got myself a blasto:

It's pretty

I hope it is just as pretty in person. It will be here tomorrow.

This one's a mail order. I rarely see them in the LFS and when I do, they're usually not for sale. Either someone beat me to it or they're display tank corals. Usually the only ones I see for sale are ugly anyway. I really hope this one is as pretty as it looks in the photo. You never know.

I'm going to visit the U.K. one day.

I hope so too. Youll be wellcome in the U.K. but Im not sure youll find our LFS market as competitive as yours. We have certain species that we cant import due to the EU scientific commitee list (which included quite common stuff like Trachyphyllia open brains until recently) also we dont import as much coral as the US (who does?) so we dont have the selection of corals. Maybe Im generalising from pictures I see of peoples tanks on the net but I cant find half the stuff you guys have. Anyway Im sure if you come here youll be able to find other things to do than walk around LFS's.
