    Just got a pack of 10 acans, 5 zoos, favia and SPS from Mr. Coral's $10 section. Everything came packed good, alive and looking better than the photos on the site. AWESOME! Just saying!

    they sell out real quick. If you go on Reef2Reef often, he will post when he is loading up the site and then you have literally 2-3 days before he sells out.

    I placed an order not that long ago. It came packaged well. The colors are not as vibrant. I keep mine under LEDs which are fairly blue and colors aren't the same. Still pretty though. I did lose 2 but I also ordered when freebee's were available so came out even.

    Again, the 10 section are photod to scale (eggcrate) you get what you pay for. I have a lot from him that are beautiful. I am sure his pics on the site are taken in the tanks and from the quality you can tell they aren't photo shopped at least. Mine have always arrived live, well packaged, as oredered. Once in my tank, if it has died, blame the keeper at that point.

    From everything I have seen & read, he is a chop shop in the worst way. Will buy a big wild colony for $80, chop it into 30 pieces & sell them for $10 ea.

    Horrible way of exploiting our reefs, most times they are not even healed before shipped. TONS of negative feedback. I would rather buy from a reputable propagation company. There are tons of good ones, Reef Koi, Midwest Coral Farms, Pauls Corals, Jims Reef, House of Corals, and so on. I would never support a chop shop.

    Just because something has died in your tank, it is not necessarly the fault of the keeper. I have been in this hobby long enough to know healthy vs unhealthy livestock. And sometimes deaths are unexplainable. So please...don't make statements like that.... I think no matter how long you are in the hobby, you are always learning something new and saying things, like what you just did, makes you sound like you know everything....which I am sure you don't. My 2 cents.......

    I did receive a couple pieces that were encrusted. Others you can tell were recently glued, they fell off the plug...

    That's what makes this country so great...freedom of choice for now! Not everyone can afford a small colonies and at $10 a frag you figure you have roughly 8 chances of something really nice.
