Bayside review order check it out

[Bugger]

Box came in today nice label on both side I defently appreciate it.

Termal packing material looks space age. I've never had anything this good

popcorn to keep it from bouncing around amazing

One large chuck worth my money the other two are a damn shame.
The lession of this story is Bayside stop chopping the acans so small its a pity.
If you have to ask for more fine but don't cut them into oblivion they take years to grow and now I have to litterly baby them

You could just spend more and get a bigger piece... I'd venture to guess Bayside Corals makes smaller frags so people on limited budgets can buy a couple polyps of a nice coral they'd otherwise be unable to afford. I know you can buy big frags and whole colonies there as well.

Did you not know what you were getting before paying for them? I mean actual polyp count and/or pictures of the coral itself?

[Bugger]

Its impossible to know what your getting with acans. Some are huge and some are tiny polyps. No I asked and he said all his stuff is precut smalls.
I was willing to pay more

[Scythanith]

So let me get this straight. Colby told you they were pre-cut smalls, you paid for pre-cut smalls, and now you're unhappy you got pre-cut smalls.

I totally get the idea of not wanting a LFS to "chop shop" up colonies, but I think this is where being able to actually walk into the store to see what is there for purchase would settle your concerns over "Bayside stop chopping the acans so small its a pity". They have a good sized assortment of full colonies that they are glad to sell you. The problem is not many reefers want full sized colonies anymore, they want cheaper frags to allow them to grow into the space.

There is a good chance that the particular acan you wanted had already sold out of the full colonies & larger frags and small was all that was left. For example, BC has a great looking rainbow chalice in shop that was originally for sale as an intact colony, then sliced in half with decent "toonie" sized frags made out of one half and the other half still a respectable sized colony for sale. That's typically what I see when I walk into Bayside Corals.

I guess what I am saying is be careful not to label a business when you have only received one online order from them. It's not fair and harmful to the business.

Well to be perfectly honest the pictures shown do not repersent the quality of the corals I received. Look on there site look at the corals in my tank
They lack color
I did a good review and then you got all hurt because I don't like small corals.
What is it to you that I don't like small corals.
Does it offend you or you think your really standing up for Bayside because I don't like small corals

not saying you don't know your stuff or anything, but in order to match the picture wouldn't you need to have the same lights running at the exact settings no?
