Have you ever opened a package and just knew whoever sent it didnt really care? Have you ever received a coral known for being sensitive to temp swings shipped in the Florida summer heat with no ice? Labeled like it was cheese? 😆 Well this is only the beginning. I should have known it was to good to be true when I found a rainbow cynarina on auction. Opening bid 50.00 bucks it was payday and I only had 200.00 to spend but if the kids were good I'd be the new owner. It may seem cheap and that's understandable but I had a stroke a year or so ago and am only able to work part time. I've never emailed and low-balled anyone. I've never lied or conned trying to talk anyone lower. All I do is sit and wait for corals I want to be listed at prices I can afford. Some time I get lucky and the auction is slow some times I have to chase until I tap out . It all depends. But imo if you lost a coral.for auction you should great it the same as you would a retail item me just because it closed for less than you preferred does not mean you get lazy on shipping. In the end he listed this cynarina as "pastel" his picture was clearly a rainbow. What he sent was a bleached out rainbow in an uncontrolled environment tumbling around in the bag and his answer was. Well if you'd like to pick something out at full retail I'll give you the credit towards your new item. Nty sir you already sold me one dead animal I don't need to send you another 400.00 for another one. Buyer beware. I cant even begin to name the vendors I've purchased from. Basically all of them . No one ever has been so ignorant as to the handling of an item not have them never been so rude as to pretend to not understand that what they did was wrong. Disgusting. Any of you vendors that would like to take pictures of properly packaged cynarinas meant for shipping please feel free to reach out to PV reefs and explain why leaving sensitive corals to tumble freely in a bag is not good and also explain the use of ice and proper labeling. Because they don't believe me when I try to explain. Smh they "ship hundreds of corals weekly just like that". what the heck. 😂 No you don't stop lying and admit you were lazy and didn't care.

Yes this looks just like it can handle a ton of tumbles. what the heck? These people sell dead coral and pretend it Happened in shipping.
