we probably gotta act fast if we want it. i'm good for up to half of it.

Im in as well. Whats the S&H damage?

shipping is built into the price, but there's a $10 box charge and i think there is a minimum order. bort and i were about to do it, but after looking at the pics closer, we feel the colors are not representative. it looks like they did a manual white balance under their 20K lights which can make colors much prettier than they really are.

tell you all what, if it's still up there tomorrow, i'll go ahead and order it assuming it'll be split 3 ways (i always like to let fate decide if i should buy a coral when i'm undecided). if anyone else wants in, it's plenty big enough to split several ways. if anyone *really* wants it, go ahead and order it now and we'll get you cash for our shares.

Drool ... someday I will get to those acros ...

I never really feel the colors of their acros are true. They always look overdone or something, like they've been shopped.

Count me in if you want to split additional.

Wow, lucky you decided against it.Whats the deal with the big holes in the coral, it looks like something is eating it.

it's probably saveable, not too much is dying really. people mis-use the term RTN. real RTN is where the thing sloughs away completely in a matter of hours.

my guess is it was that color or close to it before it even shipped (and is why it hit the bargain list before it sold). those clump acros are hard to keep colored.
