I'm Down.

one thing is that his zoa frags are what you see is what you get so does he only have one of each listed on the 10 and 20 dollar frags.

[Tristan23]

I'll jump on this as well :)

I'm Down.

one thing is that his zoa frags are what you see is what you get so does he only have one of each listed on the 10 and 20 dollar frags.

When I got my zoas from him, I would say half looked like the picture, and the other half looked different but very similar (in terms of size/ color). Every color variation I ordered came in, but the frags looked a tiny bit different from the pictures. Everything I ordered came in and out of 16 (he gave me three free) 14 made it. His site is updated as people buy corals so a group buy might be tricky if people wait on a coral, if more people jump in, I may pick up a frag or two.

[Zack]

Later today, I'll post a few comparison pics to show you guys what I mean.

[allan]

Wow, should've checked the $10 section. That papa smurf is pretty wild, too bad it's out. They need to do one, Army Green, Marine Red, Navy Blue, Air Force Pink sps or chalices. That would be pretty sweet.

I might add another after I look around Eve, tomorrow is the deadline, yes?

[koa25]

the Acro?

Yes please. I might add one after looking again.

Marine red should be the dominant color, of course.

[350gt]

I am very close to there.

If its possible I would like to meet somewhere....

Keep me posted tomorrow in the AM. I will send him an email. More than likely if you do loose them, it will only be a store credit that you get back. :(

Mine are fresh cut as well. I think they might have a chance though.

It was pleasing. Very well organized. Decent prices. Eve made herself readily available for pick up. Very well done. The corals were a little worse for wear. Can't plan on that. I hear the zooanthid.com guys are having issues with their orders too. It's a rough time of year to try and ship corals.

[Scutterborn]

I was very happy with the smoothness of the whole group buy. My Zoas had just begun to open when the lights went out last night. I'll check them again when I get off work tonight. I also agree that this is a rough time of year to ship corals.

[Pennies2Cents]

[koa25]

Yeah, I can imagine. Part of the hobby unfortunately. At least this Mr. Coral is giving us credit for dead ones. That is appreciated. I've ordered stuff before from online and they've said tough **** when i called them about dead livestock on arrival.

[koa25]

I think i will be fine Eve. Came home on my lunch to check them out and they look happy. Polyps out and everything. Color is looking better than last night and this morning.
