Just received 2 frags. Are they DOA

[exnisstech]

Hey all just looking for opinions on the 2 frags that just arrived. I have only had sps frags shipped once, a couple of weeks ago. It was 5 frags and they all had color when they arrived. These 2 just arrived and there is no color at all on either one. One is a JF HomeWrecker the other one I won't name because I don't want to flame the seller if all is good. Opinions please?

Polyp extension but not dead

Alive (as above visible PE) but do look bleached, although daylight can be deceiving in the world of 20K

Ok thanks. I'm new to SPS so a little paranoid. I'll continue aclimating.

Look OK to me. Acros look night and day between daylight and aquarium lighting. Acclimate and give them a chance.

Look normal for being under normal human daylight. See how they look after in the tank for a few days.

Tenuis in room light. They look good.

Definitely still see polyps on the second. I agree with the experts above and the steps they listed.

I have them in the tank and they have color. Thanks for all the encouraging replies to help sooth my nerves.

Look normal due to fact of being in dark from shipping, give it a couple of days in your aquarium, don't forget basics... Place at bottom and work up
