AgreeI would be upset and want my money back... even if it was a 100 dollars frag but over 250 for sure want my money back.
You can see flesh hanging out from the bottom of one and the other is visible but not hanging out.I was under the impression that this is a fairly normal practice for creating frags. I think the reason it looks so different is that the long skeleton is also normally trimmed off and the fresh cut is glued to a plug.
I would only be concerned if they cut it too close to the flesh and you can see the polyps while looking up from below. If that is the case, some putty would be a good idea imo.
Otherwise, I would contact the vendor and let them know your concern and see if they have any recommendations. Reaching out now and following their advice might help with any potential future claims.
I agree, that isn't good. I still suspect the frag will survive with only the damaged polyps bailing but I would send this picture to vendor.
Personally, I'd say that's totally unacceptable. The fact that it is from a vendor is more upsetting as they should know better and inspect the coral for some time before shipping (not cutting and immediately putting it in a box and shipping it). Especially if it was a two head that they cut into separate heads (trying to maximize profit). I would get into contact with them ASAP. I may be biased, but one of my pet peeves is people that frag coral and sell it that dayLooking at the two frags it appears they were once one. I inspecting a little further the piece with the larger exposed area looks to have been cut/ torn away from the other head as it was not fully developed. The damaged inflicted when cutting the flesh and the exposed innards would certainly make the coral(s) more susceptible the BJD from all articles I can find. Hoping not, but I certainly feel let down and disappointed...
The skeletons line up nearly identical.
In the picture below you can see where the fleshy head was separated and was not fully grown apart. This is noticeable just above where you see the innards popping out of the skeleton.
this is great! is it bad that as I read it, I heard it in the voice he uses? hahahaha
