I bought a mystery pack from eBay and when j received the coral they looked like they were bad shape. FedEx had opened the package and taped it back poorly. They are in such bad shape I can’t even figure out what corals are they.

I think I see some clove polyps at the beginning and the last one is a leather. Probably what I would expect from a mystery pack. From what I can see it just looks like coral unhappy from shipping

Honestly when I received them from fedex the package was opened and tampered with im assuming they probably thought it was drugs. the water was disgusting and smelled really bad so I put them in my tank water immediately.
