I had bad luck with this order. The two zoa's I got were not the ones I ordered, but they did open. What ever #95 is hasn't opened yet (only 2 polyps on the frag, there should have been at least 3-4) and #96 half the frag was doa

some of mine don't look right but when they fully open i will try and match them up to the ones i ordered

FlamesFan 01-31-2009 12:15 AM

all 3 of my sps were the ones I wanted which made me happy. Only 1 of 2 of my zoa's are the ones I wanted which kinda sucks but they weren't my main concern, im just happy bout the sps. It sucks though that you zoa guys didn't get the ones you wanted....should really bring this up with bruc.

digital-audiophile 01-31-2009 12:21 AM

Hmm, that's not good. I got the ones that I ordered. I wonder if Burc subbed where some of the stuff was sold out?

I would contact him for sure. The 2 zoos that I got are about half way open. I find they are very resiliant creatures, sometimes some of mine will close up for a while if bothered and stay that way for a couple days.

The SPS I got seems to be good, on two of the pieces there seems to be full polyp extension, the others not as much but still no STN/RTN.

If there is anything I can help you guys with just let me know.


For Tony, I promised pictures of the clam so I thought I would post them. My photo skills are bad at best so this is not 100% true to colour.

Thanks man!! That is a nice one for sure. :cool:

hurley 01-31-2009 03:39 AM

mine are all starting to open except one frag, but i got two of the same zoo's :lol:

maybe some of our orders are mixed up

Rbacchiega 01-31-2009 03:42 AM

Some of mine look eerily (spelling?) similar. But at least they're all starting to open. I moved them all to one section of the tank (where the one frag I put there opened right away) so once things grow in I'll have a nice little zoa garden.

I ordered 95 as well, it didn't look like much of anything. It hasn't opened up yet either. At this point i'm assuming it's dead. But aside from that all my other frags are looking great.

Hello

Please PM me about DOAs, so we can organize another shipment for replacements.

Thank You
Burc

digital-audiophile 02-05-2009 01:40 AM

So a week on, how is everyones frags doing? I have had pretty good luck, I do have one zoo frag that is just about toast. It started with about 5 heads, but as of today there is only one left and I am sure by morning it will be gone. All SPS survived though.

Rbacchiega 02-05-2009 02:30 AM

I only lost the one frag in transit, the zoas are all open (lost a few heads off them but all are open now). Edges of chalice are healing up nicely and as of last night everything was feeding.

Very happy with the shipment

Trigger Man 02-05-2009 05:23 AM

My stylo is half dead, but since using the crazy glue trick , the rest is looking alright.

Phanman 02-05-2009 03:02 PM

I got 2 zoo frags an 1 of the frags only has 1 head open. The other frag has never opened up... dont know if its going to make it or just melt away. SPS pieces are doing ok.

Eduardo 02-05-2009 03:08 PM

My order was all zoa. 4/5 made it and the order was correct. For the price I am happy with the order.

Having said that, Greg's organization and flexability with pick-up helped with making the order a good experience.

michika 02-05-2009 05:16 PM

Greg, I want that clam....badly...I think you should go share those photos in the "Show Me Your Clams" thread.

hurley 02-05-2009 05:36 PM

I only have two frags left from 5 and one only has one head opening.

fooser 02-06-2009 04:56 AM

Everything is doing well. My zoa frag (of 69) opened up while in the bag and during acclimatization. I had 4 DOA, but Burc quickly took care of that and sent me even bigger replacements than the original pieces. The acan and 4 chalices are amazing colors. Here are some photos of what I got.

I think that is all of them....
I should say that this is a big improvement since the last time I ordered from Burc.

Rbacchiega 02-06-2009 05:11 AM

when you're ready to frag that Acan Anthony...*points to self*

ElGuappo 02-06-2009 01:04 PM

so when did this replacement order happen? i thought i was supposed to get in that.

hurley 02-06-2009 03:06 PM

i didn't get any replacements either, nor have i herd anything back from him, has anyone talked to him lately?

fragalot 02-06-2009 03:40 PM

Hello

I apologize for late reply. I had couple dental surgeries thats why i wasnt able to reply my emails and PMs.

I replied all PMs. Replacement orders will go out on next week. But i need to talk with receivers which day is okay to receive the packages.

Thanks
Burc

digital-audiophile 02-06-2009 04:02 PM

If my one zoo did not survive the week does that count as DOA? :p

Yeh I had 1of2 of my zoo frags die durring the course of the week aswell. It seems a lot of people had issues with the zoa in the order

superg3 02-09-2009 12:37 AM

I had 3 zoas, 1 was doa. The other two opened but have since melted away within a week.

hurley 02-09-2009 06:23 PM

same problem, i think i lost 3 DOA and within the week the other two died off, whats why i am skeptical of getting replacements because they will probably do the same thing, id rather get a refund but apparently its not an option.

Rbacchiega 02-09-2009 06:43 PM

wierd. My zoas are all doing great. Already a new polyp starting on one of the frags. Sorry to hear about your guys' bad luck...

digital-audiophile 02-09-2009 06:44 PM

The one of mine that survived is fighting for it's survival.. they open a bit but everyday I am losing another polyp. SPS are still doing great though.

karazy 02-10-2009 12:09 AM

sounds like you guys need to read the zoanthid vitamin C thread on RC ;)

Borderjumper 02-10-2009 01:28 AM

Can you tell if these zoa's were all freshly cut? It sounds to me that they are fungasing. Newly cut zoa frags should really heal up a couple of weeks before they are shipped.

hurley 02-10-2009 02:49 PM

yup thats the problem they were freshly cut, couple of mine fell off the rock as the super glue did not hold, and some polyps had super glue on them so they were toast when they arrived.

Never knew that... here's the link http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...5&pagenumber=1

I have only one Zoa frag not opening up from my order.

jalemboo 02-11-2009 05:19 AM

i got 6 order and i have problem with 2, 4 of my frags fell off the super glue too.

superg3 02-11-2009 04:07 PM

Anybody know when the replacement order will be? Thought it was going to be this week, and I'm gone on a cruise next week.

Frenchie 02-11-2009 04:30 PM

Burc told me he would be shipping it out on the 17th. I ordered some more frags to be included.

hurley 02-11-2009 05:04 PM

when did you hear the 17th? i have not herd anything yet, who is receiving the order?

Frenchie 02-11-2009 05:06 PM

I got an e-mail from Burc yesterday. I don't know who's recieving the order?

Phanman 02-11-2009 05:08 PM

got an email from burc as well. He also said the 17th.

digital-audiophile 02-11-2009 05:13 PM

I guess I should email him about my one zoo frag.
