Kien you do bring up a good point, I also have to say that the condition of the colony isn't anything like what was posted for sale . In the photos below you can clearly see that the colony was stressed to the point of loosing tissue and coenenchyme mass, I would love to compare it to the original photo but the poster has removed it for some odd reason.

I have seen tones of zoas come in from the ocean and there is no way that the transport did that to them, colonies will close up but in no way will they loose tissue mass during transport. Loss of the mat occurs from irritation over time, I would time check the posters original photo but again it has been removed. I might argue that the original poster posted an old photo and that that colony went into recession causing him to sell it. If this is the case then shipping back and forth is going to result in a piece of liverock with no expensive polyps on it...

I think everyone has lost here... Hopefully you guys can come to a resolution but posting openly that your going to break each others legs and get the police involved is only acting to antagonize an already convoluted mess...

man, those are some nice palys...
bet they look incredble under actinics.

maybe I can paypal the original seller some money and go pick this up from TD.

then everyones happy....especially me.

wow..
The solution is simple.
Return money, return coral.
problem solved. Think about it, it's a chunk of coral...srsly. Just phone eachother and be civilised, there is nothing worse than bickering back and fourth over pm's and emails.

I should know, me and my wife do it daily:biggrin:

what does you and your wifes love life have to do with anything?:redface:
