ok ill chime in...

i have purchased 1 piece from said people, it arrived in murky water and stunk as soon as i opened it coral was barely alive and died... not happy but i figured ill give them one more try....

So far all these points are totally valid aout the photos, most of you have seen my tank and my photos, there is no reson to edit them as such, it has screwed theyre credibility. i barely edit the lighting, brightness and luminiosity but not colours, and i certanly dont need to black out edeges for a clean picture, its called cropping...

I have placed an order for some high end acros, so i will put up a solid review of how my order transpires.

I will be honest and take my own photos upon arrival, if they are close to the pictures (Heaven and Hell, Blue Matrix) and alive i will be happy.

Stay tuned for some cool coral photos or watch one ****ed off customer retaliate.

PS: Coralfarms.ca has the same stuff she does for half the price....not an auction, found out after placing an order..

Good Luck with your order. I can tell you that their blue matrix picture is not going to resemble your piece.

I find it educational that there have yet to be any positive reviews. Hmmmmm

I have purchased several items from two separate vendors on the site, the majority from the Vanderluis's and one RFA from Colby@Bayside Corals. All were exactly as featured in the photos as far as size and color/pattern and one was way more than expected in coloration and size/amount.

That being said, I haven't purchased any SPS and I am relatively new to the hobby. I purchased some RFA's, a torch, and the spectacular Blue/orange mushroom colony(10-15 heads as advertised) that I bought for $90 with more than 25 heads on it. Maybe that kinda stuff goes for cheap on the west coast but the RFA's I have seen locally (when and if we get any) are half the quality and much more than I paid.

Anyways,...that's my 2 cents. I found the site a month ago.

Further more they are passionate hobbyists who love reefing

Ok so you sold her this whole piece ?

Or just a few frags?
