I just received some zoanthids which are supposed to be Whammin' Watermelons. Of course they have not opened yet but I am not sure they are what they are. I will attach a pic below of them closed. I am not overly familiar with how much zoanthids can differ (how they look) when closed up but these look like rolled up socks almost but sitting upright. The reason I am even concerned about this is that the second coral I purchased, a green stag, was mistakenly replaced with a pretty nice looking black and hot pink zoanthid colony. I have already called and had this fixed and need to voice my other concern if there is something to worry about.

Ugg didn't really want clove polyps... wonderful. It doesn't appear to be cyano, its just a darker read coralline algae. It isn't slimy and wont rub off. Time to give them a call, and send a pic to see what they think.
 
Ahh well I heard back and they switched an order and gave me a refund (I keep everything of course). These happen to be Aussie Giant Palm Tree Coral which I will now have to do a bit of research about them.
 
Although it sounds like the vendor took care of you, man I think I would steer clear of them, expecially if (a) they can't identify what they are selling or (b) make order substitutions without notifying you first.
 
They slapped the labels on the wrong box, honest mistake and me and the other guy both were refunded the full amount plus shipping.. and of course kept the corals... I am not going to name them, lets just say they are a very reputable place.
 
Sounds like an honest mistake, made good! Gotta love when that happens these days.

Lets see some pics of those whammin watermellons when you get them! I still hold a love for whammin watermellons...beleive it, or not!
