We recently participated in one of the Pieces of the Ocean auctions and did some addons as well with our order.
I even called them to ask about their "second chance" that comes approx 36 hours after an original auction wins.

Every vendor and company have their own rules and guidelines especially when they conduct auctions themselves. So I called with lots of questions about their process and procedures. They were very helpful with answering my inquiries.

I thought I would share a couple of our product pictures. We were actually pleasantly surprised with the quality and size of our corals. (please forgive some of the picture quality, I only use a phone but am saving for a better camera lens in the future!)

Who could ever say "my coral was almost too big" right? We always love to see our frags "growing over the plugs"!! I know I sure do. We all pay so very much for a single tiny frag.

We are proactive types that remove new frags from original plugs, use specific dipping procedures and put them on fresh plugs to help alleviate any inadvertent hitchhikers or bad entities from entering our tanks as much as possible and with a couple of the plugs this just wasn't possible. I can't complain though!
We just were extra stringent in our personally preferred procedures for new corals.


We are happy with the results of this purchase!
Thank you Pieces of the Ocean. 20200307_174237_resized1.jpg
