I participated in their recent live sale and got my corals in today! They were very responsive in the thread about any concerns that I have and I received a tracking number 24 hours in advance.
I was ASTOUNDED with their packaging, it was incredible. Everything meticulously labeled in beautiful handwriting (shout out to whoever labeled those cups, it’s gorgeous penmanship) and packed in styrofoam peanuts inside a cooler inside a box insulated with butcher paper. They even threw some stickers in there and I love stickers
. This is the cooler after I removed most of the packing peanuts to reveal the corals.
The corals themselves were shipped floating upside down in the cups on small styrofoam circles which I though was ingenious and kept the corals completely safe from any shipping damage. They were shipped much like pulsing xenia would be shipped.
I ordered a mystery box from them and wasn’t expecting much because it was only $100 but what I received absolutely blew me away. I got 2 Ketchums, 3 Oingo Boingos, and 1 inception (a new release!) which have a combined value (including the price per polyp) of $770!!! I cannot describe the feeling I had when I read the cups and realized exactly what I had recieved, I actually cried from happiness it was amazing. Here’s a bad picture of all the zoas I bought. Top row, left to right- Ketchum, Oingo Boingo, Inception. Bottom Row, left to right- New Release Pink Zipper Grandes, PHE, SuckUps.
I did order a pink ******* chalice and it came in a pretty small but it’s super healthy and the colors are amazing so I can’t really complain about that, especially at the price it was.
The other 3 zoas I ordered (New release pink zipper grandes, PHE, and SuckUps in order of appearance on the bottom row) were very healthy and beautiful as well! The pink zippers are a little on the small side for me right now but it definitely looks like they have the potential to grow way bigger. They are all healthy and were open within 1 hour of being in the tank.
Beautiful frag work on all the corals, very clean gluing to the plug and no pests in the dip! And the best part is that the corals I received look EXACTLY like the website. I have never said that about a vendor before but these zoas seriously look spot on to the pictures I bought, no photoshop trickery here! The blues have to be pretty intense (about 70-80%) to get to the pictures online but looking from my phone screen to the tank, it’s spot on.
Excellent quality of the corals, the frag work, packaging, and photography from a fantastic company!! I’m very very pleased with my entire order. Thank you @Zoanthids !!!
