Hello everyone,

I received this corals today after going through 5 days of shipping hell and they arrived to me on their death bed this is them after 8 hours of acclimating, left zoas, middle hulk acan, right zoas, if anyone has any advice on how I can get them to live please let me know.

Notify seller. Just give them time . They may pull though. If not, its on seller who contracted shipping. I would just let them be and see.
 
Not looking good... especially the acan. Wait and see Like ptrusk said
 
Agree with the other posts. Doesn't look like a whole lot to work with there. Sitting on the sand like you have them with mild flow is about all you can do and see what happens.
