Got mine this morning. Pink Floyd and Twinkle :)

Got my stuff in finally. Fedex arrived 2 hours late! All is okay though. Polyps were still out in the bag. I have to say though, I'm kind of disappointed in the colors these frags have. Or should I say lack of color. I know that shipping is stressful and may have caused some color loss, I don't think it can fully account for their appearance. They are all just a plain fleshy color right now. They look nothing like the mother shots. In all fairness, I realize I'll have to give them some time to color up, but I was expecting to be "wowed" for the amount of money spent on these 5 frags. I don't have time to take pics now, but I'll try to do so later to give you an idea what I'm talking about.

hatfielj -- yeah the non-wysiwyg stuff usually lacks color because they're fresh cuts. Like if you look at the photos I posted, the Twinkle was WYSIWYG and has encrusted the plug; the Pink Floyd is fresh cut from the mother colony(you can still see the glue at the bottom). But I agree with you, when you spend $100+ on a tiny frag, I think they should be given time to heal and color up before the vendor sells them. :squigglemouth:

All their frag plugs where covered in hair algae when I got them. My hermit crab already took care of that. Also found a nudibranch on my watermelon zoanthids, good thing I dipped already.

Great-looking stuff! Can't wait to get mine! I know RR will take care of everyone. I personally am glad when there's some algae on my frag plugs bc it usually means the frags aren't super fresh cut. That Pink Floyd is going to look great! Btw, you guys who are getting shipments should post up links to your build threads so we can follow the frag growth in your systems. If you don't have a build thread yet, now is a great time to start one! :)

I should mention though that my "the one" frag is pretty awesome looking. It has a crazy green body with red polyps. The orange passion looks like its gonna be pretty nice as well. Excited to see them progress.

Most photos don't do the Orange Passion justice. The polyps on it just glow orange with neon coralites, might be my favorite acro in the tank. Here's some more side shots of my Pink Floyd and Twinkle. They're happy with their polyps out now! Can't wait to see them really color up :)

I got my acro pack in, no labels so I'm hoping someone will chime in:

image.jpg


Front right is a blood red milli, middle right is a deep water acro that needs to,color up, dead middle is another deep water that is a sick green under actinides but needs some time under whites, and middle of the back row is a rainbow milli with pink tips, a yellow transition zone, and a green body. The rest on the rack is stuff I already had.

Wow, nice score! Color looks pretty decent on them all too. Do you have the colony photos of the Poisonberry and Wannabe by any chance? I don't think I've seen those.
