Just got some corals today not looking good any tips?

[Marc2952]

The delivery just arrived for some acros i ordered. They where supposed to arrived at 10:30am but like always fedex fails. I got a cali tort which looks good aswell as an orange passion, but some of them came in the bag where the water was yellow and slimey, looks just like brown jelly disease but i never knew sps can get that. The following corals are:
Cali tort
Tricolor validia
Reef pro incredible hulk stag ( barely alive)
ORA red planet
PC rainbow( looks dead)
SC orange passion( looks good polyps are out)
Walt disney ( this one doesnt look too good)
WWC blueberry fields ( has some slime on it looks bad)
Tyree pink lemonade ( looks completely dead to me.
This is the first time buying sps online and tbh im kinda dissapointed. Is there anything i can do to help them recover or just keep in high flow and low light?

Have you contacted the seller? For now, I would let them be in low light with some flow.

Edit: After seeing the pics, most of them looks good considering the shipping. I would let them heal and check back in a couple of days. You should let the seller know about this though.

***acclimation*** its going to take a few days if not a few weeks for some vendors specimens to acclimate and become settled in. I'm sure you need this but still feel like I need to reiterate the fact. Some frags look very promising,but some do look questionable but still need a few days. Did you take pics in the bags of all the frags before acclimating ?

Yes the pink lemonade was bone white and the incredible hulk had a bunch of slime the water was also light brown with slime when i opened it up. Sadly i didnt take a picture of the coral full with slime as i panicked and put it on a little bucket to dip it. But this is a picture of the bag. It smelled pretty bad too reminded me of a BJD issue i had with a torch a while back.

If that WD is still shedding its skin I'd cut it off where thats happening and glue it down to a new plug. Make sure to get glue over the base of the skin. It doesnt always work but has helped in the past.

So cut it in half and glue it where the skin starts to shed?

cut just above the area that has fallen off. Make sure that you get a tiny bit of glue all along the bottom edge so that the glue keeps the skin from peeling more.
