After taking part in a group order with said company, I did receive what I had ordered. However, as everyone has mentioned it was far from what was pictured and has taken months to see enough improvement to justify my purchases. I trusted there would have been some resemblance from the images they shared and the corals I received. But to my surprise, I received several thimble sized pieces and two of which were entirely brown. I have heard of a few happy customers, but I don't feel it's worth the risk and have decided to take my business elsewhere.

I thought I was all alone, not only are they cheats but they have a circle of cronies,who if an item isn't selling they "buy" it, then you see the same frag a month later taken at a differant angle for a slightly cheaper price.
I haven't been kicked out, but anytime you ask something that reflects poorly on them your question is erased. Tracy just commented the other day about someone questioning her lighting in her for sale posts, and went on a little rant. They are quite the pair

Based on what clearly sounds like market deception (lying), feel free to post your experiences here. This hobby is tough enough without getting robbed by this type of thing.

Never dealt with this group or this pair of shysters, so I'm feeling lucky. Sorry to all who had the great misfortune of sending any money to these sellers. Thanks for the warning.

I was just about buying from them but luckily? I had a red bugs issue, so didn't dealt with them.
Thanks for the information.
