Mine came in fine. They opened and ate the first night in my tank. The purple one wasn't what I had hoped for though. It was more lavender with green tips, almost identical to one I already had, maybe just a tad darker. Either they sent me a bicolor by mistake or Roes bicolors are something entirely different or most likely, the purples and bicolors are all pretty much the same thing with slight variations although I haven't seen them all to confirm that. Polyps were about quarter sized. I have to say the yellows are very cool.

the yellow omes seem the most fussy.
mine closes for hours at a time for reasons like my watchmen gody kicked up to much dirt. things like that
Another positive vote for Roe's from me. I ordered 2 different types, a yellow and bicolor. Both arrived in great condition. The yellows opened up right away. The bicolors took about a day to open. I ordered 2 polyps of the yellows, which also had 3 new heads growing (5 polyps), and I ordered 2 polyps of the bocolors (which had 2 new heads growing ( 4 polyps). It has been a couple weeks and now they look great. I will try and post a pic a little later.

IMO the yellows from RMW are bleached... at least mine looks that way. It took a week or more to open, and when it did it was almost completely white. and had stringy tentacles opposed to the fat/fuller ones of the ORA and the purple RMW.

If you want the real duncans, not the roes, zoafrag.com sells them for $30 a polyp. Mine opened up within a few days, but with little lighting, I was told they like less than 4 watts per gallon. Mine is at a little above that and they still look great.

Those are the same as Roes. The best are the ORA ones. I believe Viper930 and a few others have them. Much larger and nicer in color.
oddly not a fan of the ORA ones but i haven't been having the problems with my yellows either once they chill out and extend they are a very nice full Duncan.
who knows maybe chelskisw6 is rite but after a month mine have not changed in color or appearance and have babies that are the same coloration as the mother polyp so got me.

Have you seen one fully opened? They are everything the Roes are but much nicer, larger and more colorful.

I like both ORA and Roes- i think it just depends on your taste 
My roe's yellow is also a little finicky- it came unglued so i have it on the sand bed now but its also producing a few babies so i think when they do that they have to like, constrain themselves a little to put energy into makin babies
i don't know.. dendros seem to act that way too.
Once i get some super glue back in place it goes.. i've been feeding mine at night so my cleaner shrimp dont steal food chunks out of their bellies either
