Out of all the projects I have worked on these little guys have been my Favorite! Unfortunately I don't have any left I only got them to 4 weeks (I have a good idea where I went wrong).
I wanted to try again so I had a pair ordered from Laura @ Reef Gen, but the shipper destroyed the box and one came in DOA.
