My First Auction with them last week, and it wont be my last. Packaging was great, and Corals were very healthy. Pictures don't do it justice.

The shopify bidding experience could be better, but it got the job done.

Here is the site in case you want to take a peek at their current auction.

Thanks again POTO.

The pictures look even crappier once they got uploaded.
 
Took pictures with phone, then cropped them down.
That's the problem. The resolution is low and if you crop it then you will see blurry. Try not fixing the picture and see how goes.
 
Here are the uncropped pictures

Now looks a lot better. Another tip is maybe your hand shake and make it blurry. Try to put one or two fingers on the glass to take a steady shot and will looks better.

I do put a finger or 2 on the tank before I take the picture. I sometimes have to hold it at a slight angle to get it to focus better. I just moved, and cant find my GoPro cam. But once I do, i'll be able to take better pics than with my phone.
 
regardless of the picture quality, i agree with you on POTO, they were my first coral purchases (auction) after getting back into the hobbie earlier this year and everything came well packed and all the pieces i bought are thriving, ill be buying from them again and hopefully taking a short trip to their new storefront

Ok. Yes, with the GoPro you will get better pics. Those corals looks nice.
 
I have nothing but good things to say about Pieces of the Ocean. I live in staten island so I've been to the store several times since they opened, purchased 2 fish and 2 corals and they are all doing really well. Store is immaculate with high end equipment. Kenny is a great guy to deal with.

Just won 8 coral auctions. Can't wait to go pick them up and post some pictures. Seems like a great place.
