I will post the e-mail he sends me about my question of why he told me it was from an hawaii aquarium when he admitted in another thread that he got it from zoafrags. I am not going to be mad at him, just anoyed

[ralphie16]

if he did try to fool you, do you really think he would reply to you in an email when you said you were going to post it to this thread?

I was the seller....I am not going to sell it though, It was an accidental frag. I broke a small piece off of it, while moving around my tank. I just glue it to a rock so it wouldn't die. I never intended on selling it. Also I was only asking $30 for it..This was a last minute add to a order that was already made. Who would try to jip someone for $30 and risk ruining their whole reputation. I cropped and zoomed because the buyer, wanted zoomed photos.....I indeed got this from zoafrags, and posted a thread about it along time ago...I have nothing to hide....This mother coral was orginally fragged by Delbeek so I hear from freinds of the family.....I told no lie. I never claimed to know him, I have spoken with him a few times, but thats it..I have nothing to hide, I take pride in all of my products. I didn't think this would cause such a stir up..Why else would I put my name here....You no, Zoafrags had the same problem with this coral, and he just eventually pulled it, and stoped selling it.....I have nothing but the most respect for zoafrags.....I know there was no photoshopping here....This pic was taken under 400 watt mogul 20000ks, and yes if you don't have the right equipment, it will change color....I should not have even offered it, and I won't again.I am very sorry for causing such a stir up. I do understand how someone can get very excited about something like this, and I should have thought about that before offering it.....I will just cherish my prize, and thats it..... Delbeek has done alot of wonderful things in his carrer.....You should read all 3 volumes of his book The REEF....Also written with Julian Sprung....

I just got to read this post above from bitis

I sent bitis316 a "I am very sorry" e-mail. I did not realize that zoafrags got this first then sold it to bitis316, that would have made all the difference and there would not have been any mix up. Its just that he told me it was from an aquarium in hawaii and I thought that he got it straight from them. When I saw the original picture with zoafrags plastered on it I just freaked out. I keep hearing of all these people who get burned by con artists and when I detected an inconsistency in what I thought and what I saw in the original picture I paniced. It would not have happened if I was just buying $30 of coral from you bitis, its because I spent $250 on the final bill and that would be a big chunk of change to loose for me.

again, very sorry , please forgive me

[crazyguy34834]

here is what the coral looks like in his tank, ow man I love it, I would have liked to get this pic at first.

looks like everyone who thought the picture was photoshipped needs to send an apology to bitis. He has sertainly gotten mine

What? It looking nothing at all like the mis-representative photo shopped BS from their site upon arrival???

[crazyguy34834]

see how a new member spends more time saying he doesn't want to apologize then just saying a simple sorry. thats sad.






lets see exactly how riled up and how big of a rant this guy will write.

[crazyguy34834]

come to think of it bitis did tell me that they sent him more coral to make up for how disapointed he was at what it looked like when he got it and after a few months it colored back up.
