Will they survive ?

The three pieces up front were part of the group in question.

This is the one that is of the biggest concern. Looks terrible!

 

[BMan]

I have no idea what this frag is and wether it looks good or not.

That white encrusting one is just a skeleton, it's dead. The large piece looks like it has flesh left but the septa are exposed it will probably start necrosing soon.

Won't that just shock them further? I don't have anything to dip in besides hydrogen peroxide.

That one on the left looks super gooey and has bubbles on it, is tissue coming off of it?

 

[AcroNem]

I'm going to say all but the zoas are either dead already or on their way, keep your eyes peeled for infection or tissue coming off.

 

[BMan]

Tic toc Tic toc......time will tell. Is there any danger of these things effecting everything else in my tank ?

 

[AcroNem]

Yes, if they are allowed to rot. Which is why you need to watch carefully. And maybe not time to tell, from what I can see things may start going even more south sooner than later.

It's mucus.

Rodger that.

Could you PM me what company is dumb enough to send corals with ground shipping?

What is it or was it. How can I be sure it is truly just a skeleton ?

 

[BMan]

I have a feeling they are all going to bounce back. Except maybe that white thing that might be just a skeleton.

I've been watching this thread and am hoping for a good outcome, but I have a suspicion that is was Aquarium Depot aka reefs2go. OP if this is true it would be helpful for others to know so that they can stay away from these guys, they have a horrendous reputation from all that I've read about them.
Good luck with the corals!

I don't want to trash the company. There name is located in one of my earlier threads. Same company I bought my rock from.

Ok, I understand that. Your situation sounded exactly like issues that other people have had with aquarium depot, that's why I asked. I hope that they do right by you with the corals.

The corals were free. They were attempting to do right by me for shipping live rock the same way. I complained about the amount of die off. This was there apologies token.

 

[GHsaltie]

Ah ok, I guess I didn't read that right. My bad.

Psammocora, Porites, maybe even Montipora, I can't see the corallites or anything so I'll just throw out a few. The Dipsastraea is likely already dead and tissue loss may start soon. You can be hopeful, but a couple look dead already honestly just waiting to lose flesh. You won't be trashing their name any more than it likely is already, I mean they shipped coral 3 day ground they're already idiots people should know not to buy from them. At least post a formal review or PM anyone that wants to know.
