so i bought some mr coral frags it took them a little time to ship because of backed up with free frags offer .. which is what got me to purchase really lol. anyway they left yesterday afternoon and i must say if this isnt the perfect weather for shiping corals i dont know what is haha so hopefully they all make it and look good. i will post pics after i get them all dipped and such.

Um....call this a new question but are sps known to get rtn from shipping? Curious because I ordered 13 sps frags myself that haven't shipped because I have to call on wed regarding the freebies.

Not interested in rtn

Not normally, But it could be a result of less than optimal shipping conditions and may result in the demise of the coral in short order. Or it may recover if it is healthy enough and the tank conditions it's placed in are excelent. JMO

Stupid phone changed newb to new

My concern is this is sort of....not ideal for me already as these corals are coming from a MH tank. I run LED and would honestly prefer to buy only from LED tanks.....sorry I don't much care for the nail biting while the coral adjusts to the intensity changes.....if it is unhealthy upon arrival it could very well be doomed.

Problem is most still run MH.....makes the pickings slim for now.....this time next year will be a different game.....
 
Mike, how do the colors look? from the pics they all kinda look the same.
 
Yea my phone sux for colors but considering the sizes and that they ship fresh cuts which is main reason. For rtn I believe. The colors look decent -good depending on frag some better than others .. but for the price I'm happy so far
 
Kinda shows the color on sunset milli

I've ordered from these guys a few times before a number of years ago. The small frag size, fresh cut nature of the frags and very small amount of water they used in shipping makes me VERY leery to order from them again. Looks like you did pretty good, though, but I lost several within the first week or receipt so the next few days should tell.

I believe he just gets wild colonies and cuts them up and ships them right away hint the limited time only sales it's an eye catch 125 dollars shipped for frags that are no even 1/2 in sizes.

Not sure why he is allowed to stay a vendor.
