mr coral purchase

[gmoney243]

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.

 

[Surf&turf]

They all look fresh cut to.

 

[gmoney243]

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

 

[gmoney243]

Kinda shows the color on sunset milli

No polyps because I moved it

Blue milli

Colors arnt all there because I had to turn blues down to take decent pic

Some kind of green polyp blue ridged monti looks nice this was a freebie

Did these corals ever grow out for you? Would be great to see pics 2 years later.

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.

Mike I had the same experience all MR coral frags I have gotten only encrusted but never saw any growth and they all died.

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.

That is normal for this guy. They did not discolor in shipping. Most of his corals come in brown.

Not sure why he is allowed to stay a vendor.
