Buyers Beware ~ tangey
Just wanted to post my experience i had with this seller to let any other potential buyers see what they might be in for....
http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=743336 January 7th ~ I paypaled tangey $43 for 2 10-15 polyp frags of the 2 zoa colonies pictured below. January 17th ~ they get mailed. January 20th ~ they arrive, a heat pack was in there but hard as a rock and ice cold. i drip acclimate them for an hour before placing them in the tank near my other zoa colonies. Todays the 30th, and neither of the frags he sent me show any signs of wanting to open. All other frags I've bought @ a LFS, or from a reef club member, or have had sent from a purchase online have all opened up the very same day. I've had other purchases PM me with similar experiences so I figured since I hadn't seen them post anything I might as well. After a few days I PM'd him but he told me to just give it more time, and that they were finicky. tangey, your PM box is now full, and I am tired of giving it a few more days.. they're done for. as pictured: as they arrived and are still today:

I have contaced you and we are working something out so I would appreciate it if you woudl take this off because they were open in my tank and maybe they died during shipping. I put a 72 hour heat pack in so not sure why it was cold but we are working something out so I would appreciate it if you would take this off. Like I said you can see the picture and thats what they looked under my lights and that 260 watts of pc lighting. Liek I said they praobly died during shipping considered I live on the other part of the country. I am working this out with you so please remove this.
thanks ryan |

ALso they were 10-15 polyp frags not the colonies. You can clearly see that in my thread it says 10-15 polyps. I don't think anyone would sell 200 polyp colonies for $15 each. Like I sadi please reamove this for we are working things out and the information about you recieving a COLONY is not correct.
thanks again ryan |

FWIW, I'm pretty certain that the zoas on the 3rd picture isn't dead. I'm even more certain that it's alive since it has been several days and it looks the same as when it arrived. Dead zoas melt away within a day or two. You'll just be left with a bare rock. Polyps are actually "plump" so I'd say it has a good chance of opening up.
Picture quality on the 4th picture is bad so can't help you there. |
