Best reefing holiday present ever from POTO!

[ninjamyst]

I placed an order for 5 acro frags from @Pieces of the Ocean last week during their winter live sale. First time ordering and was impressed by the color and varieties of their acros and other corals. During the sale, they were giving out discounts and mystery Christmas gifts. I received the box today and it was a HUGE box. First thought was that they must have a really good FedEx rep to ship 5 acros in a huge box =).

I opened the box and it was the best holiday present ever. I won a POTO God Pack!!! I didn't even know what that means until I pulled out 22 acros!!!! And these are HIGH END acros! I am beyond happy. This has to be over $3k worth of acros. Vivid Insanity alone is like $500 on sale.

And more than half of the acros have polyp extensions in the bag!

I will add more photos once I get them acclimated.

I know there were threads during Black Friday about pricing and lack of actual sales and BRS marketing gimmick. Just want to share that there are some great sponsors here.

Surprised they didn’t give you a bit of a heads up… That’s a lot of work ahead of ya. Definitely worth it! Wish I lived in Orlando, I’d come by and help you acclimate…

Thank you so much! We wanted it to be a total surprise to whoever receiving this. And like true reefers we got carried away. Hope it didn't derail any of your plans!

@Pieces of the Ocean you can derail my plans any day. Just DM me so I will make sure I’ll be home to receive package. I agree @ninjamyst POTO has some very vivid looking frags!

I received the package 20 mins before a 2 hours end of year management meeting. My zoom is still on mute and video off right now. I have no idea what they are talking about and I do not care at this point... hahahh

 

[ninjamyst]

No brown frags. Look at those colors!!!! A lot of vendors post photos taken under only blues. POTO is one of the few where their photos look like what you will get in real life. This is a cell phone photo taken with pixel 6a without any filters attached. I just tune my Radions to be mostly white during photo mode

My number fav is the Mai Tai. I had sunset milli before but this one is out of the world. Sooo fuzzy and neon green. I did bust out my mirrorless for this photo so I can get a close up.

Second fav is Goofy Homewrecker. Hard to capture the real color with my cell phone but I love how pink it is in real life with hints of yellow and blue.

 

[TnFishwater98]

Looks like they made it into the right hands! But I’m still a bit jealous!

 

[TnFishwater98]

Ok! More than a bit!

Good thing you weren’t setting up a IM15g...

I may have to pick up an IM 15g to move non acros over to make room. Hahaha.

I figured you must have got some more corals…

Go ahead and grab a 20 gallon… I foresee good things in your future reef expansion
