Thank you, some of them are big enough to show patterns and they really are stunning. I'm surprised I have so many yellow ones though.
I know the first spawn was all red and white morphs.

Haha I remember the first baby I found, it looked like an aiptasia. It was someone here that told me to turn on the blues and it lit up like a Christmas tree! Haha

Hahahaha I wouldn't be opposed to selling them for like $30 when they're big enough. Most places sell for like $80 if they're pretty lol that's too high!
I think some may go to my local club eventually too :)

One of my pink/yellow rainbows recently spat out a few babies. I'll be interested to see how they turn out. I have 40 RFAs, so I have no idea what they will turn out to be.

This is awesome. I was going to make a rock nem garden on one of my rocks, but this has me worried! I'd hate to have them pop up around the tank, possibly stinging other corals.
