sexycorals surprise box w/ photos

[ssdawood]

I would really like for the other 13 people that supposedly purchased boxes to chime in and post pics of the corals they received. I would really like to see the $3000 box that was sold...

I have a 1000 box coming and I will post pics. First time customer and new to hobby. I wanted the 3000 box but he sold it too quick.I will put a honest review. Even better just pics so everyone can see it themselves. If its crappy I am calling Mike out.

I have a feeling if the box turns out to be great I will be called a cheerleader and it will be dismissed. If its crappy I will be applauded to jump on bandwagon

I don't think they would call you a cheerleader, but it'll seem like your awesome corals will fall on deaf ears. Well, except from turbo and I, since we're cheerleaders already I guess.

This is a zoomed in shot of the OP picture. In my humble opinion these are juvenile aefw that have yet to cause severe bite marks!

I see what you're observing. In order for this to be Aefw, you are saying juvenile Aefw are in the exact same position on each coralite? I'm not saying it's impossible but very unlikely.

Also curious as to why their bodies are so full, this might sound elementary but shouldn't flatworms be more flat? I know they aren't completely flat but those resemble droplets of water.

Just post pictures when you get it in, and that will be fair.

Since the frags are cut already, give us a tease of the pictures. Let's see what a 1000$ box looks like.

Ssdawood, you are one very lucky person. Perfect timing. He will obviously send you some awesome pieces in an attempt to clear his name.

Thats exactly what the OP stated

his stuff and list was made a couple weeks ago and put aside ... i dont do anything differently. to me everyone gets nice stuff and equal treatment no matter if its a $200 box or $10k

 

[ssdawood]

I was thinking same thing wouldnt wanna mess up a 1k box if I was Mike

Its only 1k. Any vendor should not botch a box. He will be loosing on a lot of money in future sales from just one customer. WWC 1k box was amazing and service was outstanding.I know Mike will deliver.

From my experience with Mike you will be more then pleased! he seems to take care of his customers, on a side note i didn't expect people to come out of the wood work with not so good experiences... but its tough to bat 1000!

 

[Jlobes]

lol! I find this hilarious! Then why sell $100, $300, $1000,$3000 boxes if they all get the same love. Lol!

I think his point, and I'm not trying to speak for mike, is that he puts the same amount of attention and detail into each box, regardless of value. But Not the same value in each box.

 

[ssdawood]

yea I hear your freebie will be a rr jawdropper acro :bigsmile:

Noooo then I will have two of them lol

the Surprise Box i received was not in the 1000's and i think it had plenty of love, and well beyond worth it, look at the proof (pictures). I plan on doing a 1k-3k surprise the next round!

Cool then let's see it. This will be fun, you post here and then he can post up here as well. Then we can all take a look, and he sounds all for it.

Maybe I am not seeing the same thing here but the shiny spots that are being pointed out are in the coralites of the acro. Being the picture was taken out of water, the position of the so called aefw and the OP dipping and not getting any aefw I can only assume that is slime or water deposits built up in the crevice of the coralites. The chances of aefw laying in each coralite, over the polyps would be extremely doughtful at best.
I've woken up and smelt the coffee and still don't see AEFW. If they were present they would have come off in the dip.

U did get a nice box. For the OP selection of corals were nice but they didnt make it to him nice. Here is the problem. Now Mike has good stuff and probably grows them. Now he is fine with growing big name frags but he does not give it to his customers. Doesnt make sense. He introduces some amazing pieces. Pretty sure he has a grow out. But he wont give those nice pieces to his customers. Does not add up.

Monkiboy did you find any AEFW. Atleast this will end the flatworm controversy.
