I was correct about the trajectory, but I don't like the categories.
I want another option.

We are here for your entertainment. Welcome to the internetI thought it started dicey but has evolved into some semi-interesting/entertaining banter.
I probably could have phrased that better. For example, I know some people find inverts on their corals and consider them freebies (like bristleworms), I use a white list approach to my tank in that if it's not planned for, it doesn't go in.you said you "throw corals in the trash", seems you should buy the corals you want and not participate in these kind of games.
they were much nicer than I would have taken that, how do you do the cry face followed by hug emoji?
your on the right side! don't you dare go left on us!!!!I jumped ahead to see if the mods had been required to step in yet. I don't think I will be able to get the BBQ started until the fire has erupted and consumed the question beyond all recongnition.
What side am I on? I forgot to vote.
sometimes the painful discussions are the most impactful!What good is a reef website if we can't bash each other around for killing GSP and aiptasia without thinking about it?
And we need to discuss the evils in the other guy to purge the bile that is stuck in our own souls as we head into eternity begging for righteous judgement from the creator that most have denied existed and replaced Him for ourselves.. It's just a rehashing of the garden story.
what would you like? Aliens? Teapots? Jello?i will not cast votes for the hangman to count.

Tons of work to get a dog to be like that. All of our sentient pets appreciate us if we treat them with respect. But to earn your dogs love is pretty special. He and I are very in tune with one another. A lot of it is just his breed. Giant schnauzers are extremely loyal out of the gate. But he and I do literally everything together, so long as he's allowed. He doesn't get to go to the grocery store with me. But he does get to come out of leash and walk with me while I mow.That's awesome, I wish my dog was like that. I swear, I could die next to him and he would still boop me to pet him. He is incredibly oblivious/
Thank you for considering my plight in the original poll. I had to answer a poll from my workspace last night and I replied then that I didn't think the results desired would flow from the categories offered in that poll, or something like that. The outcomes don't always follow the categories provided, I am used to that.what would you like? Aliens? Teapots? Jello?
I completely agree, I think there could be a few things adjusted, but for the most part, they really do a good job. From the few I've seen people get, they seem to be really nice corals (def not something to trash), even if all of them aren't exactly something I would put in my VERY small tank. Though I think those mystery ones are just better for people who have more open plans for their tanks or have many tanks. It's why I stick to the gift card ones, but never win but it's fun to at least try, and see them giving back something to the community.Thank you for considering my plight in the original poll.

BTW< I am sorry you had a difficult time with the contest results. I love our vendors but they are just human and they don't always understand what we are trying to communicate when we ask them to divert from the common trajectory....
Oh yeah, That would have been perfectly fine.Another option, which the vendor may or may not comply with…is to ask what the mystery frag is and therefore give you the option to either agree to take it or pass it on to the next person. That being said, be prepared to be told it’s a coral you do not want or can not care for and do not complain and raise a stink about it. Either take the mystery frag or pass it on and move on with your life!
The joy and wonderment of opening a bag of corals with your mystery beige Xenia already growing over the other frags?Is there something I'm missing?
LOL, your responses are hilarious!The joy and wonderment of opening a bag of corals with your mystery beige Xenia already growing over the other frags?
No? How about the rage endorphins as you yeet all your plugs into the backyard?
It’s all the palytoxin I’ve licked off my ungloved fingers over the years. Everyone in this HOBBY seems too serious. The dumb HOBBIEST take themselves even more seriously.LOL, your responses are hilarious!
yes you are. It might be because you are not a vendor and are unfamiliar with how they may operate. I can't speak for all vendors but most of them have no idea what FREE frag they are going to give you until they fill your order. 1st they need to look at your total order and determine what type frags your buying (zoas, lps, sps, ect). Then they have to look and see what frags are available that will go with the corals you're already getting. To ask them to do that in advance for every FREE frag they give away is a big ask. I have been apart of many many frag giveaways and this is the first time someone has complained about a free gift, much less before they even know what the gift is. And to create a thread under the disguise that its a Poll about caring for animals only to further your complaint in public seems very wrong. It's click bait and only hurts the guy that was trying to give you THREE free gifts in the first place.Is there something I'm missing?
GSP DESERVES LOVE TOO I get your opinion though.
I think the only thing you are missing is scale of a shipping operation. I know from personal experience, that bagging coral and getting it prepped for shipping is not easy. That being said, vendors have to bag specific orders (and tons of them) and drop them off all at once, so I doubt they want to accommodate special orders/requests. Most likely, it is like throwing a sticker in a box and there is a box of water with "freebie" frags in it and whomever on the assembly line is finishing up an order grabs one, bags it, throws it in the box and tapes it up.Oh yeah, That would have been perfectly fine.
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure who benefits by keeping the mystery frag a mystery after the winner has been selected. It seems like it only needs to be a mystery during the game. Is there something I'm missing?
