Buying acans on eBay?

Sugo · Nov 9, 2013

I've tried most eBay coral sellers and now I only purchase from Goldenbasket8.

Corals received actually look like the original photos on the description.

Update: I bought 1 acan, 2 chalices, 1 rhodactis mushroom and 1 milli.
Acan came as WYSIWYG so grade: A.
Chalices: 1: called lucky charms came as 1 eye frag really a booger size but for the price I paid I am not complaining. B-
2: called pumpkin patch. Its by far the best piece of the pack. One eye but very generous in size, looks really bright. Grade: a+.
Rhodactis: penny size but mother looked big and multicolored so finger crossed on this one. Grade b-.
Acro: didn't take the shipping well. Lost all its color but alive. Very freshly cut so that's played its part as well I am sure. Grade: c-.
Seller: Mr. Coral/thecoralfarmer.
Lesson: won't buy any more acro. But then again I am doing a sps dominated so........

The pumpkin patch if that is a chalice. If accurate in name is aka Miami hurricane is still one of my favorites. It will get multicolored eyes. Starting yellow and change to a bright orange. A multi eyed piece gets very nice with all those shades of orange on that deep blue base.
