These are the $1.00 Rainbow Wellso and $5.00 Fungia. Seems shipping stressed them a bit lost a lot of color bit then again we all know how pics can be ;-p. these pics were with the iPhone camera. This is what they looked like when they were posted for sale.

Wow I guess I've got a good UPS guy lol, he signs his kids name for me when I'm not home and leaves it on the porch. Although I've known him for many years now and he's a great guy.

UPS was fine, but they did require a signature even though I have one "on file".

Here's a pic of the lot after 24 hours (got them in yesterday). Sorry for the crappy shot, I only have phone camera.

The 8 acros look good; however, the Blazing Sun Milli (far right, front) is showing some RTN, which as grown a little over night. Also, the acro to it's left also struggling. Not sure what that one is, as it was part of the SPS pack 1, shown here in the upper right.

Any one know what that one is (or the other 3 for that matter).

Anyway, glad to have them though!

Just my opinion but when shipping maybe leave the plastic sheet or bag that's stuffed in there out it's suffocating the coral

A lot of the stuff I've gotten the last couple of years has been shipped that way. I can't remember who does it, but one shipment came with the frags attached to little plastic cups. Also gotten a few attached to a piece of styrofoam. I mainly stick to zoas and lps because IME they tend to ship a little better.

I just wish there was a way to completely seal the box so if there is a leak it doesn't make it out and soak the outer shipping box. Sometimes I think if the outer box gets wet that just irritates the shipping people and they treat the box worse than they normally would.

Got my stuff in, was a little aggrivated that I never received shipping information or a tracking number but since I had everything shipped to work I can let that slide. A couple of pieces have slight recession but doesnt look like anything the corals cant heal from. The corals themselves look fantastic, even better than the pictures during the auction and some are bigger than I expected. All of the zoas have extra babies that you couldnt see in the pictures (I think the blue hornets I paid $5 for is 5 heads!!). Very happy overall, top notch quality. Communication could have been better but given the circumstances it is understandable. A+

you might can frag this one right above the recession and save it. Might end up with two frags too....

That's what I did. Here are before and after photos. It's a shame though it was a real nice encrusting large frag. Now it's two little ones. Well, they're about 1 1/4" each. Oh, can't take a before photo, duh.

I was going to buy that pack after the pack i bought, but you snagged it before I got to it. I think the pack I bought and this one had some of the "hidden" corals they mentioned on the flyer. The one in the top right looks like the RR ultra carolinia, which I already have and is super nice and a highly collectible piece that I paid top dollar for...it might not be though. The one on the bottom right looks a lot like some true to life pics I've seen of the sabertooth and wolverine, it might not be but is very similar. Were the corals in the pack labelled?

Good score anyway.
