Interesting, I couldn't find any bad threads about this vendor before I ordered in Nov. and out of four corals, three are pretty much dead. He didn't send any heat packs in the box and everything was freezing but since it all looked technically alive when it got here I didn't bother with pics, it all just looked very stressed, which is normal for shipped corals. Within two days all the flesh had fallen off the skeleton of my two scolys and a bubble coral. The acans made it out great, bubble still has half left on skeleton and appears to be making a recovery but nowhere near as bright as was pictured. Scolys still have the slightest amount of flesh on them but I have my doubts. I decided I'll just stick with LA's divers den and a few other vendors I've had much better luck with.
