Just got some corals today not looking good any tips?

Looks ok to me. The tort and other sticks can slime up like crazy fast. Dont expect to see crazy colors from the tort under blues. I brought home a few frags from local reefer (1 hour drive) and wow were they ripe. A month later after dip and QT I just started hitting with light. Give it some time and some carbon.

Yea ill give it time but 3 of them have already started to shed the skin and the pink lemonade is a goner. Gonna try to save the walt disney ( thats the last one in the picture)

Whenever the water is brown like that it’s likely the acro will eventually die. Even if it looks ok when out of the bag and in the tank it will happen later. If you get corals and the water is dirty looking or stinks then take pics and call the seller to get refunds. If they look ok tell them the water was foul and they should replace anything that had foul water since they can die later on.

FYI - I've purchased from ReefPro before - back in April when outside temperatures were in the 70's. He is a great seller and all my corals (a few you had) are the best growing in my tank.
In the summer time I'd suggest having your coral shipped to a FedEx holding facility and you go there and pick them up. Once it gets on a truck its not temperature controlled very well and will do better in your cooler! I'm sure if you talk to ReefPro he will have no issue sending them to a FedEx hold facility near you.

Below is a picture of the Incredible Hulk Stag - it really is super green. Grows slow for me, but has fully encrusted the plug and starting to encrust on the rock.

Looks similar although the incredible hulk ones from reef pro are extremely bright like this one

 

[Marc2952]

btw final update should i just trash these? 2 of them are bone white and the pc rainbow is just getting there too. The WD has stopped shedding since last night and has polyps out

 

[Marc2952]

Yo i swear fedex is the worst im never buying from places that ship with them. The replacement corals where supposed to arrive today at 10:30 am for pickup and supposely its still in the facility. Ontop of that they supposedly dont do refunds due to some covid crap. Its 3 times fedex has failed me.

Oh man, that’s sad. I hope the Walt Disney recovers. I just ordered a Walt Disney from the but it comes in thru UPS, not FedEx. I had it go to a holding facility. Ships today and comes in tomorrow. I’m excited to see it

Yea ive always had good experience with ups dwlivering on time but fedex has always given issues. I hope everything arrives fine on your end.

That’s odd, I guess it depends on the area. It’s the opposite here. Fed-Ex is always on time and UPS is always late or some excuse.

Yea im in new york im surprised myself supposely it will be ready for pickup at 5pm

 

[Steven Garland]

Wow this is just terrible..

I would chuck the two frags personally but I have seen people leave them in the corner and sometimes a polyp will grow out from the piece but it normally doesn’t happen until months later and takes a long time to get back to any decent size. Most of the time they don’t come back anyways.

Yea good point also i just received the replacement all of them arrived fine except for the pink lemonade again. It seems that its just a poor shipper since it came in that foul smelling water again an bone white.

Came in 2 hours early than projected. Fed-Ex does a great job here to deliver items. It has beautiful polyps extension. For sure I am going to buy more Acro from them. I’m also dosing there Reef Pro A and Reef Pro B from them.
