    Last week a friend of mine decided to buysome coral from lareefs. After a lof of debating and looking on his website, we decided that the WYSIWYG ebay photos were not showing the true color of the corals. We also decided that the white was new growth on the fuzzy green birds nest and the white on the green birds nest was either new growth or bleaching, but for $8 I decided to go for it.

    Here is what I won:

    My share after shipping was $55 for 5 frags.

    They should arrive tomorrow. He would not ship them due to the weather and never informed me about it. I am not happy about that at all.

    Looks like some nice frags there.

    Dont be mad about the shipping, he is just looking out for you really. You dont want something shipped in a bad snow storm with the potential of getting stuck somewhere and then they all die. That would make you even more mad.

    But if arrangements were made to be home...I can see where frustration would be.

    I don't mind waiting due to poor shipping conditions. The seller not contacting me about him not shipping the corals for 2 weeks is what annoys me. Doesn't take long to send a quick message updating me about what is going on.

    I agree. That's just crappy customer service imo. It takes two seconds to send an email about shipping status and not let someone wait on something that isn't coming.
