I received my part of the Vernon order 6 days ago. 2 showed up in great shape. 1 looked fine on arrival but has never opened. On Saturday, it detached from its rock (my guess is that it was glued onto the rock the day it was shipped). I'm still not sure the 4th frag is actually a frag. It looks like a piece of coralline and not a Zoa (but I'll reserve my judgment on that one for another week or 2). I also passed along 2 other frags to someone else and I believe their survival rate was 50%. One of the bags had no air in it when it arrived which is why I think it did not survive.

Now the big question... Would I do it again? I would but only if it was a similar sale. In the end getting 2 frags for $40 is still a pretty good deal for the location I live.
