Has anyone ever ordered from mr coral

[duke62]

I ordered a bunch of coral from mrcoral with a friend of mine and i have to say i am not happy at all. They didnt use heat packs and the bags were delievered ice cld.4 of the frags i believe are dead.i asked them to put our names on which bags were ours and told them which corals were mine and which were my friends and they didnt do that.and one of the frags they glued on its side and 4 of them werent glued to the plugs.im sure they fell off but thats because they used a pindrop of glue.anyone else had this same expierence, I EMAILED AD CALLED WITH NO RESPONSE. WHAT SHOULD I DO

They get very mixed reviews I guess in this case u get what u paid for proably wouldn't mind if not for the $60 shipping

Looks like 3 of the 10 sps arent dead ....yet

 

[Mattl22]

Hopefully he will replace them

good luck when i got mine they where died and had rud bugs anf flat worms all over them

They shouldn't be shipping with heat packs this time of year, it should still be ice packs but the only way those bags are getting ice cold is if it was sitting in AC or refrigeration for a few hours (which wouldn't make any sense). Did you take the temp of the bags when you got them?

I really dont understand how Mr. Coral is still in business. There are plenty of negative reviews all over the web. Mixed reviews is a huge negative IMO. If you get as many negative reviews as they do, then I dont care how many people have positive experiences.

I ordered once from them a few years ago and everything was dead in a week. All fresh cut, unhealed frags.

I think I had warned you about that guy or said something in another thread..I heard only bad things. I hate getting stuff in the mail its usually bad lol.

 

[duke62]

looks like 3 might make it.never agin.cant get a hold of them either.worst expierence of my life wit corals.oh yeahhh i got a free dendro.im guessing in a small bag overnight the got cold man.who knows all i know is the bag was ice cold and the sps arent living.i even slow dripped acclimated and dipped

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Was the box labeled "Live Animals" or "Live Tropical Fish" or "Perishable"? It might have been stored improperly during shipment if it wasn't.

I ordered 5 SPS and 8 acan's from them and they were all supposedly WYSIWYG and only two of the acro's looked like the picture. All of the acan's were drab in color unlike the rainbow colors on their website and they sent me duplicates! I ordered all different colors of acan's yet they sent four of the same coral. I will never order form them again.

none of the SPS were the ones in the picture.matter of fact the batman i bought is still pictured right now.only 3 of the ten pieces are holding on.the rest are dead.my friends chalice looks like crap.the 3 that are alive have no color.i went to country critters the other day and there 5 dollar frags are larger then the ones i bought of this site.i will never shop with them again or any web site for that matter.and jerl i did dip tem

Funny you say that. The Batman is one of the corals I purchased. The Rainbow millepora they sent also looks similar to the Batman which is a Tenuis.

I got an email back from mrcoral.they said they will replace any dead coral i received.i just need to take pictures.

Duke try harrysfrags.com, 2 inch $15 dollar sps frags, buy 5 or more free shipping.....expertly packed, hanging from floats in their individual bags. The guy even personally called me the day of receiving my shipment or the day after, best online place I've ever dealt with

Sent from my Droid using Reefs

 

[duke62]

i looked at harrys frags they have nice frags but i think im done ordering livestock online.i know a few places on the island i can cheryr pick for the same prices.i bought a metalicgreen birdsnest frag from country critters the other day that is doing great almost 4 inches for 10 bucks.

They all have the same sps in long island stores
