    Default Look what I got!!!

    I paid 80.00$ for this frag pack! There was even some kind of little crab in one of the bags! I paid almost a week in advance before they were even shipped.

    the crab is probably a gorilla crab... you dont want him.. they are nasty.

    and what kind of zoo's are they... I mean if they are quality zoo's saylike purple people eaters or fire and ice or eye of RA then that is a good price buuuuttt if they are just run of the mill zoo's then yes I would say he did not treat you fairly.

    the 2nd and the 4 frags arent too bad...looks like quite a few polyps on them. but some of them are pretty thin

    I have to agree with you, they are pretty poor frags. Make sure you dip them. Never know what kind of bugs are on frags like that.

    I thought those pictures were taken straight out of the bag.

    I would put them in good flow, with a decent amount of indirect light.

    I see the zoa jedi Marv is looking at the thread. Maybe he will have some advice!

    Did you pay with paypal? If he or she doesn't take care of you you could file a dispute.

    I would call and tell the person you got them from that if they don't wither ship more frags (like the same amount you have there) in addition to what you have or refund half your money you will make a public post about the poor service. UNLESS they where bought WYSIWYG as in that case you agreed to that price for those corals.

    ANYONE who does bad business in this hobby should be given a chance to fix the issue, and if they choose not to they should be publicly outed. This hobby costs enough as it is, we don't need to be getting ripped off in the process.

    I would give them more time before I got to unhappy/worried about them.

    I would also put them on the bottom of my tank, unless you have a low light source, with good, but very indirect flow. after this, leave them alone, and wait.

    Shipped/dipped polyps, or an acumulation of both, will be bothered, on top of having to aclimate to their new tank conditions, which in turn, can lead to them not opening up right away.

    Also- looks like 2 (at least) of those polyp frags are deepwaters. Could be wrong, but thats what I am thinking. These polyps can be very tempermental, and at times difficult to keep, until they are happy in a tank.

    Keep an eye on these guys, and watch for any deterioration/reduction in numbers of polyps of these new frags. If you notice either, keep us posted.
