Just got this one from extreme corals. It the first leather that I've ever really wanted to buy.
Nice pickup, I had that stupid thing in my cart for so long, I knew I would regret not pulling the trigger on it. if you ever decide to frag it...

Just an update on the green sinularia. A few days after that first tank shot, 1/2 of it melted away, which I attributed to shipping damage. I decided not to mess with it and it started growing from a few healthy stalks. The color is somewhat less vibrant now, but still very bright on the polyps.

I'm not experienced with ID but the second picture could possibly be a Lobophytum sp.

I don't know... This one has a different polyp structure I think.

I was asked to provide an update on this, so here we go
I dont have any pictures because it is not my tank (2500 miles away...) and my sister doesnt take pictures of her tank (she gets frustrated because the first one doesnt turn out and doesnt take more). I have seen the coral twice since she got it though.
Despite being an absoultely fresh frag that hadn't quite attached to a rock prior to being sent, the coral has done fine, normal PE, normal growth in four months, etc.
However, it came in more of a light periwinkle color than the dark blue that is on their website...
It has also faded to almost the standard pink/natural color that most softies take on since. It is still a little bit blue/purple, but no where near the periwinkle it was when it came in or the dark blue on the aqua con website. The color change was very obvious between the two times I saw it.
IMO, based on the color loss this was a dyed coral.

I'm sorry to hear that...AquaCon is infamous for being crooked. Just look on the vendor feedback forum and you'll see. I dealt with them once under another aquatic business they run under a different name, and had to file a claim with PayPal to get a refund after they took my money, never responded to my attempts to contact them, and never sent the item I ordered.
