Traded a guy a coral

[Jvesche20]

I traded a guy a 100+ Duncan head and some zoas for a 45 aio tank. It’s been 2 days and he said they haven’t opened up yet. They are still alive but not open. I’ve had these corals alive for years. He’s mad thinking i gave him dead corals. What should I do? Should I tell him to wait longer or what?

Did he look at them before he traded you ?
Maybe he should check all his levels did he acclimate them ?

Might just take time to acclimate to his water who knows where he placed them the flow on them lots of things it could be....

Tell him the coral needs to acclimate

Did he inspect the corals in your tank before the trade? Do you happen to know his experience level with coral?

Yes I went to his house and he saw the corals. Sent pics of them alive. He claims he checked params

He needs to be patient.

No returns for f2f transactions.....sorry!
Shipping is a different story.

I've had Duncan's take a few weeks before they opened up. Duncan's seem to get mad and stay mad for awhile if they are messed with. Wait a minute they act just like my wife does gets mad and stays mad. Maybe that's why they are one of my favorite corals.

That went from "they're going to be sleeping on the couch if their wife ever reads this comment" to "that's one of the sweetest comments I've ever read on this forum" in the blink of an eye.
