White line acans


Toxic Acans


Purple green blasto - Credit purchase


Purple base acans


Nuclear acans


Saw the "odd" neon rainbow acans Derek got last time and had to get some of my own. And Burc told me he was out, super excited about these ones. Havnt opened up much however. Hope they make it.


Purple tip torch - Credit. Didn't handle shipping well at all. Water was quite brown one side already looks like its about to fall apart, exactly what my torch did last time. Been waiting for 6 months to get some torch. I think Torch coral just hates me

All in all, SUPER HAPPY. Day 1 and except that oddball Neon rainbow (which I think look better), everything looks just like what Burc shows on the website.

Raspberry Mili and what I think was a red planet arrived bare white skeleton.
Pocci has flesh but not sure if it'll make it.

I give up on mail ordering.







I have some vain hope the odd patch of flesh on the skeletons will grow. but I know it won't.

THose bags look like they have deflated. Without some air of some sort fish or coral will surely die. If this is the case then I think Burc owes you some more coral. The fact that the water is brown indicates to me that there was living coral when it shipped but they just died due to no air.

Well I just got home and my order looks good so far besides one zoa which looks all dried up.

I will try to take some pics and post them over the weekend once all coral opens up however I have to say I'm a little embarrassed as I know my pics will turn up like poop even though I have a Nikon D7000 with a vast array of lens; for some odd reason I'm having a really tough time taking decent pics of my aquarium.

Thanks Keith and Anthony for making this happen once again and a big thanks to Doug for picking up my order from Burnaby; huge time saver for me.

Thanks again guys.

I have had frags shipped in bags with just water and no air......no problem. The deflated bags probably have something to do with temperature. Not saying that oxygen depletion isnt the problem and temperature is though.

agreed, I have both received and shipped frags without air at the top of the bag. Never intentionally (when I ship).....but when they get stuffed tightly in a shipping container sometimes this pushes the air out the top of the bag......assuming there are no shipping delays I have never experienced a problem.

I am extremely happy with my order this turn and it looks like even the dried up zoa is recovering; it might take a little time but its definitely not dead.

Ok someone was asking if the rics were good from Burc and in the picture below you will see the bigger ric which i received a month ago on the first order and the one i got today (supposed to be red orange)
I think the frag above might be the LA Lakers Zoas and the neon frog is from last shipment also (looks much much better in person and it is half the size as i was moving stuff around)



Mean red I think


Crappy pic of the teal and white acan. This is my first acan as I want to see how it does before adding more and I will definitely add more in the future from Burc.
