so about a month ago I got a few acros in a corn bread auction, I paid $80 for a wwc wt-f acro and $59 for a atomic fireball acro and i had a freebe that was a another acro. so i got them as soon as they came and they were ice cold the heat pack wasnt even activated and the freebe looked half dead. so i put them in hoping they would do well and they never colored up and i lost all 3 of them first the freebe 5 days then the atomic 12 days and then the wt-f 15 days later. So i lost 170 dollars+. I called twice and got no response I will never buy from them again they sucked!

Cornbread sells the smallest nubs of nubs and thinks they are good size. I’ve never even seen a half inch frag from them, the guy is a goof I called and complained and he said well they live in our tanks so that’s your issue buddy do you even know how to keep coral. And I said buddy I’ve been keeping coral for 3 years and acros for the same I have great luck with my acros and don’t lose many. I suggest you stop ripping people off and give them Frags that will survive that are about a 1 inch, and he got mad and hung up.




I REPEAT DO NOT BUY FROM CORNBREAD CORALS THEY HAVE APRIGHT PRICES AND THY DO EBAY AUCTIONS AND THEY ARE NOT WJAY THEY SAY THEY SAY A 1/2 to a inch they there nubs. So do not buy from them!!!

I try to read reviews to get a scope on how customer issues are handled should a problem arise.

Wow thats Huge blow .Quick story. I bought a Diamond Goby from WWC in Orlando . Next morning he was doing death dance. I messaged WWC and they responded and said they would replace or credt the fish despite there fish policy. I later ran my nextcam back and found out my clowns were murderers. Of course I never did cashed in on the goby, but its how they handled the situation. Ex: By not asking me if I knew how to keep fish.

I recently bought my first auction corals from Cornbreads, and living Fort Lauderdale I was able to meet him locally(Thursday). Very nice guy. The corals are thriving in my tank, haven't seen any issue with them. maybe you got a bad batch or something went wrong?

As for size I don't know what to expect when it comes to buying coral off ebay. Not sure what's big or small. What I got seems a good size. It had one big head and 2 baby heads growing on the side.

Edit: The customer service was a bit crappy but oh well.

Those look pretty small. Find some friends in the hobby and go to frag swaps. Not only that, a frag that small doesn't give you a good idea what it will grow up like.

Living in south Florida I have followed cornbread corals online for years because he is local.
His pictures of corals are amazing and immediately draw your attention.
I’ve had friends buy locally from him and were happy with their purchases and I hear his tanks are amazing.
Personally the only reason I never ordered from him is because his prices seem inflated to me. I see him selling stuff for more money then other vendors for the same corals. I’m cool with letting my baller friends purchase from him for top dollar and I will just buy frags off my friends for a fraction of the price.

How is possible Cornbread corals meets you local when the website clearly states you cannot pick up any purchase locally if you live nearby? If Cornbread Corals make exceptions they should have made some for (Camaro).
