no pics yet but i ordered 9 and got more than that... did everyone get theirs?
all of the coral bags had a bad smell to them when i opened the airtight bags.

i got 11:
2 doas acros water was cloudy and they smelled dead. BUT i put them in my refugium because the acro has 5 branches and one out of the 5 was still green, the others are white so i think it could live.

2 zoas that havent opened up, one had one of those tiny green starfish that eats corals on them, when i pulled him out of the tank he had one zoanthid in his mouth...

7 healthy looking corals and im surprised they actually opened up because my tank has high levels of amonia right now. im in the process of lowering them.

If it were me I'd frag off that good portion to try and save it.

Heres my experience so far [all SPS frags, I didnt get the chalices I ordered];
- 2/11 DOA
- 4/11 have a bit of flesh receding
(for a possible 6/11 dead)
- 7/11 are frags I actually ordered
...so long story short I have 2 or 3 live frags (for now) that I actually ordered out of the 11. Ill try to post a few good and bad pics of the frags.

Strike two for frag a lot with me, but this aint baseball - I will never reorder again.

I hope everyone else's orders were better than mine - and Steve's.

OK, and now pics you can see without laying down;












...Long story short, the $10 a frag deal is not that. I paid 110 divide by three = $37 a frag. My advice to anyone who takes a look at this thread is to buy good frags from good vendors at good prices. All in all, you get what you pay for..., and after this order I can think of a ton of $25 frags I'd rather have!
