well, ive had the bags floating for about an hour now and i can see some polyp extension on the montipora digi and birdsnest. not going to lie, i didnt have my hopes up when they arrived so cold, but everything looks ok. we'll just have to see what happens when they hit my water, i dont have a good track record with sps.

Corals came very well packed and labelled. The WYSIWYG posting from the supplier is a great comfort to know everything is ok at their end before shipping. I acclimated them over a 2.5 hour period and made sure my new Evergrow IT2040 LED fixture was keeping it's 30% (all channels) setting. I was going to give them a dip of Coral Rx but, as mentioned previously, they arrived very cold and I didn't want to stress them any more than necessary. Rather than placing them in my main display, I decided to play it safe and put them in my cube that was set up a few months ago. They're already getting some polyp extension and don't seem to be as angry as other SPS that I've had shipped. Now, like everything else in this hobby, we wait.

this is my first try using revive, and im giving all 5 frags i got today a bath in it so hopefully it helps. theres already a couple dead creepy crawlies in the pail so hopefully if theres anything bad on the frags it wont make it.

Good practice to dip no matter what the coral comes in like. Even if I bring stressed coral from overseas I always dip them. IF they don't survive then it wasn't meant to be.

I'd rather a few dead coral then a tank full of dead ones.

When I get frags I also take them off the original plugs and put them on my own plugs. You never know what kind of eggs may be lurking on the plug that Revive/Coral Rx doesn't kill
