Vivid confetti shipped dead?

[slythy]

I just got this coral yesterday and i think it might be dead. Thoughts? All the others have lots of color this one doesnt.
Thanks!

Sorry, that's toast :(

 

[slythy]

Should i pull it out? I got a better looking coral that could take the better spot

 

[Perry]

Yes, it's just going to grow algae on the skeleton, yank it :)

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Yes pull it. It's dead.

Haha very impressive! Seriously wouldn't let it discourage you it was likely related to shipping and/or acclimation stress and sometimes just happens.

a former vendor on here. It was from a gift card even if this one shipped dead i way got my monies worth.

i worded it weird. I have a couple monties and a green slimer all growing decently. This is the first sps death i have had. I figured id kill one of the 8 acros i got quickly but not this quickly. All others seem pretty happy with polyp extension and decent color for first 48 hours

Yeah I would say something during shipping stressed it the heck out quick. Was it delayed or anything else shipped with it that’s fine?

Some just go “poof” even when our systems thrive.
Could have been a thousand things, or nothing at all.

I think i got 12 corals and only that one didnt look good. Most were acros. It was on time and wrapped well. The fact that the others seem happy this one just didnt want to live

Looks like it was a fresh cut. No encrusting visible. Fresh cuts can do just fine if purchased locally, but they generally don't fare well when shipped...
