I asked a lfs to order one for me which it did and it came in today. First off I should say this question may be premature but I thought I would see what y'all think. Of course being a meaty coral it has to be hard to ship so it came in with a few teeth showing and deflated. That is a little of my concern but the real thing that bothered me is the mouth was kinda open/gapping a little bit. When I got there he started off with telling me I didn't have to buy it and I could leave it for the weekend and see how it does. I should add it was only out the bag about twenty minutes but I've never seen large Lps have there mouth open when not feeding. The one good thing is he had it laying on its side on a frag rack rather then straight up so I fixed it and it did close its mouth when I did. It also contracted like it should. Ten minutes after that it started to open its flesh back out but the mouth mostly stayed closed. I've yet to see it fully open but I couldn't stay all day so I plan to go back this evening. Although I have no real rush from him to come get it I don't care for the crappy coral tank that every single coral goes into. I usually try to get there when the shipments do to avoid sitting there for long. I wish I had taken a pic but the owner was with me the whole time so I didn't think about it. Do y'all think its just shipping stress or something worse. Thanks for any replys.
