Here's my review of Sand Bar Coral Farms. After winning a frag pack from SBCF, I'm definitely a customer. The corals came in healthy and opened up within a few hours.
Didn't take a picture of the box but it came in without any incident or leaks. The cooler it came in fit nice and snug in the box and after opening it, I was surprised to see that the corals were triple bagged and labeled, although it wasn't exactly labeled as. For example, one of the bags was labeled as an acan but there was a zoa in it. Still, its a free frag pack that SBCF picked out and each of them were labeled as a "promotional item" so not a big deal for me.
2 zoa frags: 2+ polyps of Rastas (the real ones) and 3 polyps of some unknown zoas (dark middle with faint red ring , which I dig).
I was surprised I had a 2 headed frogspawn. Green with purple tips. Pretty excited.
I received 2 shrooms; a bright green hairy rhodactis (my 2nd favorite coral out of the pack) and a smaller orange/red rhodactis in front of the green hairy one. I'm happy that these shrooms came in rocks instead being attached to a frag plug.
My favorite coral out of the six corals in the pack. Bright peachy orange/red/pink micro lord that glows. Could not take a good pic that shows off how pretty it looks.
Customer service was great. Drew at SBCF called me when there was an issue and was willing to work with me to get the corals shipped within my time frame. He even sent me an e-mail with the tracking a day before it actually shipped and followed up with me when I received my package to make sure that all the corals were fine.
Overall, I'd buy stuff from them. Heck, I wouldn't mind driving down to SBCF and checking it out myself.
