Ever wonder why he got the boot from canreef?

Do some research people before you throw your money away.

His colors on a lot of his stuff are nothing like the pictures on his site, while other stuff is pretty close. My dragon soul and hulk acan are spot on like the picture. I would not say you are throwing your money away because his prices are pretty darn good, just have realistic expectations. Your frags will likely have some RTN, freshly cut and some/most will not have the color saturation you see on his site. I was not worried about this because I know they will color up and recover in my tanks, so was happy to save the money. I was also missing some frags, of which he has told me he is sending out tomorrow morning, but he put up a pretty big fuss over it despite it being clear there were 6 pieces missing. If you poke around the web you will find my experience is consistent with other's. HTH

Sounds reasonable. I have done my research and know not to get my hopes up. I hear it is a toss up, great prices but some difficulties along the way. Good to hear the Dragon Soul is nice, it is on my list. Thanks for your input and I will let you know how it turns out!

freshly coming off the edmonton group order id figure i can offer up some feedback..
my order had 9 frags... colors on most of the zoas are a bit off... (different from site for sure)
interms of accuracy of what i selected i would say 40% yes i should of emailed him about it but whatever i didnt have time... so that part can easily be fixed
out of 9 frags no DOA... my purple death paly is funny enough close to death 1/2 closed up and almost melting, so im hoping for a turn around
pokerstar monti i ordered the base is bleached however polyps is out so im guessing it was probably just the stress during transport
favia arrived in great condition, zoas despite not what i requested were all opened the same night, and lastly the most impressed was the ultra rainbow acan, no sign of stress and is doing great in my tank and showing really nice colors.

so to sum it up for 10$-25$ a frag is not a bad gamble... it seems the frags that do the best are the ones that are more common, the rare-er the coral the riskier it is....since everybody wants it and in order to satisfy the demand he isn't giving enough recovery time for the mother colony hence increasing the mortality rate.
