Currently acclimating! Are these suppose to look like this!

[merlberg]

I placed an order online and just got my order but everything looks very off. The cucumber tentacles are all off and all over the bag, the tube anemone skin has peeled off, and my most expensive one which is my red goniopora is completely white and the bag of water is red.

The pics aren’t the clearest but based off of what you read and what I am seeing are these things ok to still add to my tank? I am currently acclimating them.

Hi this looks bad I would tell the vendor . Not in good shape

At least for the goni, no that should not be happening. I would contact the seller and see about their DOA guarantee. More than likely that cloudiness is the flesh of the goni having come off the skeleton.

Ouuu I'm sorry... sad to see.

How long these take to ship? That looks all d.o.a to me very sad....

If anything throw them in a qt tank hope for the best I wouldn't even acclimate.... need to get them in better water a.s.a.p

Agree with contacting the vendor. Those don't look good.

Contact the vendor immediately with these pictures. Water shouldn't look like that - usually signs of life decaying.
