Well, I recieved my frags from thesea.org yesterday morning and I have to say WOW! This is the first time I have ever purchased captive bred frags and I am impressed. Here is what I got:
Orange Blastomousa wellsi (one polyp)
Green Blastamouse wellsi (one polyp)
Sm Red Blastomousa wellsi (three Polyps)
And as a gift he threw in an orangish Acropora Mil. and a blue staghorn.
I will post some pics once I get a chance.
Although the sizes are small they are beautiful. The size thing is just because I am used to buying whole colonies of things not frags, I'm sure the sizes for frags are just fine.
What I can't believe are the colors of these things! I am really into blasto but these acros are awesome! They are so colorful. I hope they keep the color under my lights!
The blastos colors are outstanding! the orange under actinics shines like crazy! I wish I had a whole colony of this stuff, I really need to get it growing!! The green is really bright too. The only dissapointment was in the size of the red blasto. The green and the orange are almost quarter sized but the combined size of all the red polyps are smaller than a dime.
The service at thesea was excelent also, he emailed me several times while I was waiting for the shipment to arrive so he could keep close tabs on shipping times and I would be totally prepared for acclimation and such. Very nice. The packing was good, but the water temp had dropped quite a bit, due to the weather this week here (cold and rainy) But everything seems to be doing great.
So thats my experience with thesea.org
