I do have some but im having to use my wifes mini laptop cause mine crashed and isnt doing so well and hers dont have a spot to put in a SD card. I may try to get mine up and going im holding out hope I get a new computer for christmas lol. If not I will def try to get pics uploaded. Ive got all the frags except the candycanes in the tank. Theres a few that dont look so hot but we shall see. If they would have arrived on time to have a chance of survival I would have been happy because many of the frags had alot more then 5 polyps on the frag. A few of the frags had 10-15 polyps. Others had 5-6

sorry to hear of your luck.. I have never used R2G so cant comment on the service... I hope they make it right. I would probably stick to ordering dry goods from them. maybe they will arrive safe

I dont think I will continue to order from them at all. There pods are pretty good deal for what you get and the sizes but thats it. They have TERRIBLE packing skills it amazes me how bad it was. The coral had no hope of survival.
I havent heard back from them yet but hopefully will on Wednesday. They seem to have good customer service, but a giftcard isnt what im looking for I want my money back to place a order else where.

The green ones in the top left were the free ones from R2G then the other two frags are from LFS the rest are the ones from the last shipment from R2G that im not happy about theyve not even began to give light that they might open up.

They look promising though. At least they are full size zoas. The ones they gave me didn't stand a chance, they were little baby zoas. They do have a clear brown film on them, looks like they are dying
yeah Im still hoping they will begin to open but its not looking like they are going to. The one free frag I got from them with the pod order took 3-4 days to come out.

UPDATE: I never recieved an email from them yesterday so I called them this morning. I told them what happened and she was MORE then willing to reship my entire order for free but it wouldnt ship till January 8th because they didnt want to ship on a short week so avoid this happening again. I told her I was not interested in the entire order being shipped again or a giftcard to their site. She really didnt want to give me my refund because she stated that they would be out the shipping cost etc. I told her I had little faith that a order would arrive alive even if it would be shipped and the only thing Ive been happy with from them is the pods and 179$ would do me no good cause I dont need that many pods. She said they had 12 orders lost that was shipped via Fedex and they was refusing to give them their money back for the shipping. So I definetly wasnt the only one who lost coral this last week.
Anyway she told me she would process my request for a refund but would have to close my account with reefs2go in order to do so. I told her if thats what she had to do then so be it but 179$ was alot of money to me and I would like to go elsewhere with my money. She really didnt want to give me the refund but reluctantly did so I have nothing bad to say about R2G besides they have bad shipping practices. Enough with my rant. Ill be going to live aquaria once I recieve my money back.
BUYERS BEWARE AND USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT WITH YOUR MONEY. ( When you place a order make sure there isnt any bad weather between yourself and Flordia otherwise unfortunate things like this may happen.

You would think that they would arrive alive eventually but I dont have the patients for that. I want it to arrive right and alive the first time. They issued me a 19.99 credit for the cherry bombs before they even shipped (they said it was either because they was out of stock or not healthy enough to ship) The warrenty with live aquaria is far the best out of all the online vendors, they have great customer service and great quality in their livestock. Ive not ordered from them in awhile but from things that ive read, they havent changed at all.
The zoas I tried in my tank finally kicked the bucket more or less they developed a brown film and algae over them and wasnt looking to good so I pulled them out and then called R2G.
Good luck though.
well I havent had a chance yet to get any good pics of my purchase I recieved a few weeks before christmas,but over all I cant complain.now if I purchased everything at thier regular prices I would not be happy.the frags are small for 19.99 a pc. so when they have sales its not so bad.and shipping was prompt,shipped on wed. evening and was at my house by 10:30am the next day. I ordered,some clean up crews,yellow watchman goby,zoa pack,cherry bomb zoa,green striped mushroom,2-peppermint shrimp,one pistol shrimp,2 emerald crabs,I hope to get some pics up soon.

Yeah let's see some pics! I can't wait to place my Oder with live aquaria. I got a nice zoa rock with about 200-300 polyps from my LFS for 30$ it's light green skirts with light pink centers and some orange
if you can get colonies like that for that price,then you need to stick to the lfs,because you wont get pieces like that for that low of a price online.the pieces I got online have 5 to 10 polyps per frag,they are small,but I can live with that since I got the frags on sale,I think ten dollars a frag? the frag pack I got was 39.99 and is normally 89.99.if I would of paided $90.00, I would of been ticked off.but for what I spent I am happy with reefs2go. hopefully soon I will have some pics to share.

Yeah ive been ordering things from them the bad part is I dont get to see it or pick it out. It was listed on their order sheet as a Large Assorted zoanthid colony, and came in pretty good sized with alot of zoas. I have no idea what they are exactly. They have small polps when they are open which sucks but they are still neat looking.
I ordered a nice hammer from them a few weeks ago and paid 49 for it, its nice sized as well. I can usually get things at cost or close to it cause my friend is a manager there. Ill be ordering alot more from them!
