i would estimate less than 5% losses during shipping of SPS frags assuming next day delivery, greg (coralmaster) would agree with this I suspect.

freshly chopped frags off recently imported colonies are risk to ship and in some cases even to buy from the store

yup I wouldn't put the blame on the vendor all the time, you don't know whats going on when its being shipped. plain and simple.

Also every SPS frag I've gotten from Burc has been fully fleshed and showed polyp exension within days of being in my tank

I guess its just luck of the draw really.

50% losses for me. IMHO best to buy local so you see what you get.

Due to lack of communication (on FWC's part) I am officially out of this order. I apologize to the other members who were in on it.

Sorry guys ,I've been sending out PMs and e-mails like crazy ,I've just been a bit overloaded with exams and haven't been on the computer that much.

Sucks that the order had to dwindle so much
