Well as of last night I feed them all and the not so good ones had their feeders out so that is a good sign. I target fed them some brine and cyclopeze. They look as if they are coming around I hope, more puffy than when I got em.
The thing about the white edges is when I seen them on the vendor's site, they always do a top down shot so I couldn't see the sides. Plus as someone stated the polyps usually hang over the edges and these looked as if they did on the website. I contacted the vendor to see the original photo but they aren't getting back to me!!! Hmmmm.... They did say to give them a few days and to keep them posted. I emailed them yesterday and told them that they appear to be trying to recover, however its just a tad disappointing that they arrived like this vs how they looked in the photo. To me it looked as if they were dying or receding.
I hope they reply back to me with the original selling photo so I can post here and you all be the judge..... I am however holding my breath..
Thanks all for the help and info! Much appreciated....

if they are feeding and actually eat, i think that is a good sign. acans are very hardy. i accidentally had a frag which i broke in half (hit it hard on accident with magfloat) and now its 2 acan frags.
although they do look freshly cut, im not sure. my expereince with fresh cut micros (not acans) wasnt good, and all the flesh came off the skeleton. so it might just be stressed from shipping (not because it was fresh cut)
lastly, a business is a business. and they can be very busy. like u said, im sure they are just busy, and will get back to you at some point.
anyway good luck!

Well they are looking a tad better. A little fuller than when I got them. I don't think they are out of the woods yet, but I am watching them closely.
The seller has vendor has NOT gotten back to me after he said give it a few days and let him know. I emailed him and said I think they will make it however I would like to see the original photo from the website and he has cut off all communication. I wanted to see if you could actually see how white the sides were to determine how recent he fragged them.
OH well I guess I won't be buying from them again nor recommend them either.
Shame.
