I'm going to give the acans a day to recover before I submitted my judgement...

What I've found in the past with Burc's orders is that a bunch of things lose color from shipping (especially reds) but bounce within a week or two. I've never had a frag from him that I've been unhappy with, even if it was the wrong one!

Sorry to hear some people's orders didn't work out I'm not sure if I got the acans I ordered, but they are all healthy.

Aquaria, my rics both look good. Heres a pic

My 3 acans look good but 2 of them look almost identical...guess one can go wrong with just $10 for an acan.

None of my acans look like the acans everyone else is posting

They look so plump and nice and colourful and big (and this just sounds wrong).... and mine are like scragly froot loops!

Seems I got the wrong torch corals as well.... Did anyone else order Torch?
Ordered green and purple tip torch, got a yellow tip (ugly brown with bright tips) and some type of Frogspawn/octo thinger.

Looking at your 2nd Choice Column on the spread sheet, it looks like you got everything but from your second choice.

I can understand that, however not once did I tell Burc I had those back ups, and I did confirm (a few times, im paranoid) that he had my original coral in stock and that I would be sent those ones. Plus the brown torch isn't really any of the picks, looks more like yellow tip or cream tip. Both Green Torch and Green tip torch are green polyp with green tip. Kinda sad, been waiting for a nice torch for months held out from buying a few ive seen lately since I knew these ones were coming.

My acans look pretty good, I've seen both extend feeders already


This is my first acro, third sps overall, and it has colored up a bit and has partial polyp extension


And these are the pink/teal palys that I'm sure will colour up quite nicely. I'm surprised how many polyps I got, website said 15-20 and I count well over 20.


Overall I'm impressed with my order, I'm interested to hear how the mistakes are corrected.

Also, huge shout out and thanks to Anthony! His big tank is beautiful, I'm glad I got a chance to see it!

I ordered 5 zoas and one acan.
3 zoas haven't open yet but the other 2 are not what I saw in his web pictures.
Acan is little bit damaged but I've got 5 heads instead of 3.
Oh well, I hope they will change a colour in the next few days or week.
