Theyre some super cool creatures. Here's sweet lips. You can probably figure out why she's called that.

My other two are on plugs and dont move.

She seems to have settled down in this location now and is one of the brightest corals in my tank.

update, they claim weather delay, they also no this is not the first "delay" i have had with them. i discussed who will be refunding if the coral is dead. I have contact info for that after the package arrives. Don't know how well that will go over, so I am contacting Unique Corals to fill them in
 
When I got my order from Fedex they dropped it off at the wrong address and then also slammed it down so hard that water was leaking out the side of the box as well lol. Luckily the two bags that leaked seemed to have some water in them still and my guess is it was recent since the corals made it (although were very stressed) Shipping companies are so dookie.
sorry to hear that, I can't complain about FedEx service on my side, packages (coral) always look good and never delayed

Hope it turns out well for you in the end. I had one coral shipment delayed and lucked out with no issues despite it being a day late so hope it works out.
 
The color looks striated which is cool 😎.im sure it will blow up in the next day or two . The purple and white center with the yellow ends is a good combo .
 
Found a larger pic. It's hard to capture the color under blue lights. It's a day time beauty though

That is, however, a Goni and not an Alveopora.
 
Morning y'all!
Have a great day everyone 😀
