So I got my first couple coral frags for my reef tank last night. My buddy bought a Zoa colony the size of a brick last night and gave me a few frags off it and a kenya tree out of his tank. Also got a sea urchin that had a nice bluish purple mushroom attached to him that as soon as I put him in the tank after accimilating he let go of it and I was able to attach it to a shell afterward. Heres some pics not the best will get more up after they get used to the tank and open up more.

heres the two Zoa frags don't know what kind they are but have some crazy yellow and orange centers with yellow and green around the edges.

The Kenya tree its attached to a hermit crab shell so hopefully none of my hermits try to move into it LoL

They look great! If this is your 1st reef system then the first corals are such an ice breaker. I had a reef tank many years back and remember how I was constantly checking them like a new mother with a newborn. Good luck with them and keep us posted.
