Coral deal opinions

[SoggyOatmeal]

Hello - new to the hobby. Recently setup a 62g aio from tideline. Beginning to start stocking it up. Noticed an auction for sbb corals ending today so decided to check it out. Ended up actually winning a few. Just want to get some opinions on each one. Is it a pretty good deal or do you think I should purchase from somewhere else? A little nervous since I've never done the auction thing before. 5 torch corals in all. Was also curious if anyone would know what the "no name" torches might be?

The prices seem really fair, but Just my opinion, torch corals are not a great choice for a new tank setup. They can be finicky and do better with stable parameters which can be difficult in a new set up. Most new reefers start with cheapies like zoas, mushrooms, softies.

You got a good deal. He ships them extremely well, I have never lost a piece in shipping.

Well it's an auction, you bid and won now you want to know if you should buy somewhere else? Sorry but that's not how it is supposed to work and people that do that are referred to as dead beat bifders. Not sure about coral auctions but ebay was a pita trying to get fees refunded when someone didn't pay.
