Just talk to him about it. When I mentioned the 2 wrong frags sent last time, he made it right. I hear others who missed out this time are looking to place another order soon enough.
What happens to the frags you received in error? Did you send them back? If so, who paid shipping?

I would assume you get to keep them, depending on the situation and what you 2 figure best. I got to keep mine. I cant see anyone sending incorrect coral back.

I ordered torch, got my backup instead - the frogspawn (which I still have), told burc I was a bit upset by this, he put a purple tip torch aside for me, sent it with this order, it of coarse didn't survive the trip, and he has already promised credit for the purple tip.

Alrght, thanks for the advice, I emailed Burc just now. Let's hope he can make things right as I was really looking forward to the purple base Acans.

Mine came in great. Couldn't be happier, but now I'm getting the Acan addiction. Dangit.

My zoa is getting worse. All of the polyps are now closed and the top left one in this picture had expelled it's contents. How are your zoas doing, improving or worsening?

Most of mine are still fully shut, there are a few heads here and there that almost look like they want to open but dont. If they do not open up by tonight, I do not have mush hope for them. Most orders I get of zoas, open up right away or within a few hours.

If you guys want Zoas, Ill sell you all mine so I can make room for more Acans


I'd say give it more time before you full write them off. Maybe our order got banged around a little extra during shipping? 2 of my acans were damaged, still survived but kinda shows there was some rough handling at some point. Blame Fedex?

Well i got 5 zoas/palys and out of the 5 only three are trying to open up (questionable if they will survive) and two are completely closed and i dont for-see them coming back to live anytime soon...
- the two hammers are awesome (translucent and purple tip - I think they will only get better with time)
- teal and white acan is doing mighty well (I got 4 heads instead of 3 with two baby heads growing on the sides and now I got a acan fever; must get me more)
- orange ric is doing well, just a little on the small side compared to the multicolored one i got last order (I like rics and this guy will only get bigger over time)


I would say that out of the 5 zoas/pallys ordered
- one is perfectly fine and looks gorgeous (I think its the mean reds)
- two are questionable (La Lakers and another)
- two are pretty dead (waiting for them to completely shrivel up, blue eyed blondes and I'm assuming devils breath)

I will post the some pictures up tomorrow as I will most likely get home after the lights go off tonight. I'm also wondering how is that zoas/pallys have issues surviving for a day... its a pity because Burc has some really nice stuff....

For what it's worth, from my last order... My watermelon zoas opened up right away, but they're a notoriously hardy strain...

My boiling reds actually took about a week to fully open up, but now they look good.
