You know the importer is making a fortune off you, right?

well I know.. but thats the price you pay here no matter where you buy. I have no idea what he has paid incl. the shipping and import costs tbh

I understand...just making sure you're aware he's trying to get rid of as many pieces as he can as soon as possible because Acropora in particular don't tend to do well transitioning from wild to aquarium care.

he is not selling it instantly.
He does keep the pieces for at least 4 weeks before he sells them.

thats not fair, how can you pick only one!!! I like all those orange milli's but I don't think you can go wrong with anything there

I mean I'm sure you're already aware of that fact but just making sure...I've been in the industry and know very well that it's a game of calculating losses and avoiding having the cost of those losses on your hands...

Would you be paying now or a month from now? It seems really unlikely that any seller would hold a freshly imported coral for you without payment for 4 weeks...

Well, he would just reserve the one piece I want for me..
Also if I buy it and it dies within a week or so in my tank, he will refund me.

Brother, im in switzerland.. this is how things are getting done here.

Hey, by all means if you know he will refund you if it dies that's awesome! Here Indonesian corals of all kinds sell for dirt cheap ...even entire colonies.... so it's no big blow if they don't make it for us

That is outstanding and sounds like a very confident seller! If you have the right system they are not as much of a risk as most people experience.

I honestly couldn't get it down to one! I tried to get it down but your gunna have to get all of these at least! those look really good for import they must have been in a tank for a while no way those are fresh imported with those colors!

Those maricultured acros are much harder to keep alive. I know they look stunning.

I tried four five frags a few years ago. None made it past 6 months.

Don’t forget to dip, parasites are a bigger risk from mariculture.
