First coral shipment

[snoopie702]

So I made my first order for coral online. I know they are not going to be happy and from what I can see they came in healthy. The only one that concerns me is #3 but I could just be overly concerned. Any way I could get some other people's opinion just incase. Thank you in advance.

Out of curiosity... why do you know they will be unhappy?

To oldbones - I will post tomorrow.

To pmcarbrey - they been stuck in a box with no light for 24 hours, I'm sure any animal would be unhappy and stressed.

I'd be more worried about #5, that one's not looking great with the puffy stalks after shipping, usually means they're stressed or have an infection and should get some higher flow.

I think they'd be ok. as long as you don't have anything pecking at it while they slowly get acclimated to your tank environment and lighting. Proper light acclimation is good thing for Z's and P's IMO
