RRC JD growth progression

[thirst]

Dan has a lot of history w the frag. I think it just evolved over time. Who knows, I bought a jd frag from fathers office, and the colors were exactly the same, and low coralite density.

OP are you happy with your JD from TCK? I purchased one from them about 2 months ago. It looks like the real deal to me but I'm concerned about posts on this thread saying they might not be legit.

It has great colors. I’m happy with it

Here is part of that cookie seen in the first photo back in August 2018

BigR's Jaw dropper colony. Not sure why some have that thin coralite growth but ours did not have that growth form.

This is when I chopped it off the nub

Corallite density is super dense, almost tenius-like. Weird.

The photo from ARC above is a sister cookie frag to the one we originally sent to the OP. (Cut from the same growout which came from the original 7 frags we made after we got the piece in 2017) It grew into the photo we posted on the previous page

November 20th, 2018. The cookie is just above the blue Cookie Monster acro. It's grown a ton in 3 months and was mounted onto a bigger round white disk.

January 2019, it can be seen just above the purple snail. Getting thick with some actual branches. At this point we started harvesting branches and I believe we had a frag on our January Livesale.

March, 2019. It's been harvested. A couple of the frags are in pic below.

I don’t have the jaw dropper, so you all can take this for whatever it’s worth, but every coral I have received from TCK has arrived healthy, legitimate and still alive and happy going on over a year now. In fact there was a fedex mishap and Dan was ready to refund my $700, but I was able to track down the package later that night. Dan has always been extremely professional and kind to me.

I bought a RRC jawdropper from Dan at TCk. And it is the real deal. it might just be lightning or even nutrients. I can guarantee that what you have is the real RRC jawdropper.

I got fake corals from tck before and they tried to tell me it came from the source. I believe they got a jaw dropper from rrc but IMO that is not what they sent you.

I have bough multiple acros from Dan @TCK Corals and I 100% Guarantee that it is what you paid for. You have to realize most corals Acros especially grow differently in the imviroment they are in, in the ocean and especially in a reef tank. Flow and Par spectrum play a large toll in the growth rate and the formity. If you have weak flow in the Genral location of that specific acro could be the reason that branch’s are skinny and not chunking up. Acros need lots of flow and spectrum. With stable peramitors of course .

Was your purchase made within the past year?

No. I purchased a pack of 28 frags from you in June of 2017

That was previous owners of TCK. It was acquired by Dan in 2018, so that said, the current admin/staff really don't have anything to do with your last purchase. If there's anything you've ordered from us after Nov 2018 that you're not satisfied with please let us know how we can help.

Thanks, I.T. - Remy

I find that very hard to believe ! I have spent a lot of $$$ with Dan @TCK Corals and intend to spend even more in the future . By far the most stand up guy I’ve dealt with, and the man even calls me to make sure I know my order is shipped and on its way. All of his Corals are legit and epic..!

I really didn’t want to turn this thread into having issues with tck but since you 100% guarantee what I paid for is what I got I’ll let you know it’s not true.

I bought a 28 pack of wysiwyg corals from tck. All 28 corals arrived without any names on the bags. I tried to match corals to pics I had of my wysiwyg corals and noticed some were missing and were replaced with others. Lots of the more expensive ones were missing. I felt the bags having no names was done purposely so it would be difficult to find out stuff was missing.
About 6 months after my order there was a Facebook thread someone started with the same exact thing happening to them. Many more commented saying the same happened to them also. The post was soon locked and deleted as they were a sponsor.

Dan does not deny swapping my WYSIWYG corals but was only told so after I said something to him. I still have corals from that order years later that I have no idea what they are.

Can you still 100% guarantee me what I paid for is what I got?

Well that’s unfortunate. My experience is pre 2018. Not sure what the organization was doing in 2017.
