I placed an order with them last night for the two most expensive pieces I've ever purchased. This also is the first time I've ordered coral online. Needless to say I've got a bit of trepidation. Anyone have any recent experience with them?
Here are photos from their website of the two I ordered. I'll post photos of what I receive tomorrow and see how they match up....

I read a few reviews online dating back to 2007 and 2010 and all seems fine. Personally, I have not ordered directly from them.

Good luck and let us know how everything went.

Looks like a fresh cut on the war coral, but they are pretty hardy. Be sure and dip that Vietnam zoa rock, and inspect it. They are notorious for having zoa eating nudibranchs, spiders, sundial snails.

Lol agreed! Ordered a similar rock from Blue zoo awhile back and was blown away by what jumped out of the rock during a dip

What do you normally use to dip your corals in?

Just received my package from Extreme Corals. I was scared from what I heard about photoshopping and pests. I used Coral RXpro of course. Here's piece #1.... just as they promised! I'll post piece #2 after its ready. In my opinion it's better in person than it was on their site.

And here's the zoa colony... Just as in their photo! Took about 10min and they started opening. I'm thrilled with my purchases!!

The war is still coloring up but I believe their image was NOT photoshopped. This image is with an iPhone through glass...
