Sort of, the blame currently resides with FedEx for shipping ground instead of air. I can't say if it's true or not but it's what I'm told. The current plan is to see what survives when it gets here although I see no point in that personally, the order should just be replaced ASAP. Time will tell how he handles this one, luckily I only gambled a little bit.

I know he just had a huge "sale" called frag fest. Some pretty good deals it seemed. Personally I have only ever gone to his place to pick out what I want so my experiences are going to be a lot different than any one out west.

Does his coloration match the pictures on his website?

The frags do after time, takes a bit to colour back up.

Seriously?? Doesn't he always ship over night? How is that even possible over ground?? But more importantly, how has this thread survived for so long?!? It's a miracle!

Okay well,

I originally was planning on working on his website and updating it and getting it into a better functioning site but it was too complicated and I was only doing it pro bono and it wasn't really worth my time as I don't have much.

As for colours I do know that they are fairly accurate when they corals come in as I have taken photos and uploaded them myself. I can't speak for them once they have been freshly fragged and shipped though. I do know that the colours come back after time and patience just like any sps.

So the pics on his website are the colors he receives and if he sits on them too long, they loose color and people are ok with this?

I've had a mixed bag ordering from him, good, great and OMG what have I done.

I have personally not ever received fully coloured up frags from Burc; however all that I have received have coloured up fine.

Most frags I've ever received that were shipped overnight arrived with loss of colour. Most of the Acan frags from Burc coloured up nicely after acclimating to my tank.

I think the main reason for loss of colour is based on how they are fragged. They come into his system and are for sale or being fragged the next day. Couple that with shipping issues and you have brown sps.

I have never had any issues with him in the past but I have never had to have anything shipped.
