Corals melted in shipping?

[Peristaltic_Rush]

Purchased a few cheap clove polyps from tsm aquatics. They arrived on Wednesday and I met UPS at the door. Upon opening the box the heat was noticeable warmer than expected and the bags the corals were in were warm. I fared thermometer on the bags showed 85.2 degrees.

I acclimated them anyway and they have now been in the tank for three days. They have bait attempted to open or extend, and they are much paler than my other clove polyps.

I am assuming they were melted by the shipping heat pack.

Water parameters are normal all other fish and corals doing well.
