are they sold? do you have a video of the actual fish(s)? thanks.
Would not recommend ordering. My experience of a fish purchase…. Following acclimation, I put in acclimation box (inside qt tank). Upon inspection fish was in very poor health skinny, many abrasions, flukes, and open flesh wounds around pectoral fins. I was informed before purchase that specimen was healthy and eating with no issue. He did not even glance at food for the upcoming days. I took every step I could to treat, fish did not make it to say the least. Can go into detail for anyone that would like to know more. “Oh and I can buy another same kind but smaller tang for an added cost of $150 thou” original purchase-$460

Any threads here that can vouch for you? Nothing personal just my due diligence.

This man is a scammer and a liar!!!
Be careful!
He buys the goods and then after 8 days he asks for a refund, I come up with different lies!

And then he comes up with a different spoon to get his money back.

My experience has been a thousand percent positive with this vendor. Ups delay caused my white tail bristletooth to come in 3 days late. Doa. Communication and efforts made with UPS to try to find/ delivery the package were above and beyond. Before the third day when it finally did arrive, he had already shipped a replacement. Tang was super fat and healthy and immediately eating in QT. Never had an issue with the fish, and would absolutely purchase from Reef Exclusive again.

I repeat I would not buy from this seller his answer is I will send you a smaller for $150, more money! That’s what he wants and will not back his product I can not help a fish that is sick out of the bag. You can only do so much. I have a big QT TANK. Currently holding many expensive large fish. Scribbled angel, blueface angel, 8” dussumeri, 8” ring tail tang etc. the fish was placed in acclimation box right from the get go to ensure no bullying. Very lethargic and bad looking right from bag. I very highly recommend you trust who you buy from not this guy! Go to NY AQUATIC, REEF BEAUTIES, WORLDWIDE CORALS. All back their orders! Shows the limits this guy will go to, just to acquire more money
