So some background first. I saw this acantho from a local reefer/seller a few months ago. I asked about and he said he isn’t selling right now because it got damaged at a show. Fast forward 3-4 months later he is moving. He posts about it for $150 with the first picture saying its still damaged but wants to move it out since he is moving houses. So my thought was it was healed well. Me not realizing that the dark parts in the folds is the skeleton still completely poking through the flesh.
I dipped him as soon as I got him and thats how i realized how damaged it was. The 3rd picture is the coral in my tank after dipping. I deiced to blast him with 10ml of AB+ to see how it would react and he had a feeding response. Picture 5 is my tank lights at moon phase he looks nice and happy.
1. What can I do for this guy to help him on his journey of healing?
2. I feel cheated on this deal. I don’t think he explained well enough how damaged it was. He took down the post saying that it was still damaged but is getting “nice, fat and healthy”. Him taking down posts after payment is a standard thing for him so it wasn’t unusual that he did so.
Unfortunately when I went to pick it up I had my special needs son so it was a grab and dash. I didn’t get to see it till i got home. I don’t know what I should do.
