Anyone buy from MrCoral?

Looking over some of his specials and considering a zoa frag pack or an Acan pack order. Any experienced shoppers here?

I bought some stuff from them a couple years back.. very unhappy with the size of frags, and customer service.

I was told to avoid.

I bought through them on their ebay account and the acans and duncans were very healthy and are large colonies now (purchased 2 years ago). The chalice I bought was DOA and they refunded promptly. I'd buy again

I am pretty unbiased having been to both markets. Best shops in DC area are BRK (particularly fish Joc's and gem tangs occasionally) and pacific east (mostly frags). If you buy from Mr.Coral wait for a major holiday e.g. 7/4 and go after fillers. I get comparable coral at ARC for 75% less than I could in the DC area. Only problem I have with ARC is when I ask for a price on a piece I get a canned answer "that's expensive" makes it easy to walk out that day without picking up anything.

just got a frag pack from MR. Coral, came in perfectly packed and mounted to ceramic plus. All in my tank and looking happy. i'll post pics later.

P.S. got 1"+
pink mili
green bottle brush
green slimer
blue acro
green acro
teal acro

and a bunch of other frags (total of 10) for $100 to my door.
I'd call it a risk that payed off pretty well.

I've gotten frags from them about a year and a half back... All n all i wasn't unhappy with the service/price/quality...

I've bought from them a year ago. all came out OK, the LPS's were on the small side. I ended up with 6 corals for $50 including shipping. Based on this I would buy again from them.
I don't know if something changed recently.

I have ordered a few times from them. Mixed results but would give them a second try. Size was on the small size of the items I got. PM if you want specifics.
