Legendary Corals Anniversary Live Sale Event! 10AM Pst/1pm Est. on Saturday, January 18th. 500+ WYSIWYG Pieces!

[Johnniebt]

Just wondering when these corals come in. Do you send instructions on how you recommend to dip them? Also any concern on remove them off the plug or are the frags pest free. I know I should dip anyways and quarantine but, just want to be ready for what to expect. First time ordering online and don’t want to lose any if possible. Also first torch I’ve purchased any tips on how to dip would be appreciated thanks guys in advance.

Hello,

We don't have any special instructions on dipping, as everyone has their own method. But here are our tips and opinions:

We recommend dipping and inspecting corals from all places. We do our best to offer completely healthy and pest free corals, but there is never any guarantee regardless of where you purchase from. It's a good practice, as skipping dipping and inspections is a slippery slope the more times you purchase corals. As the owner of your reef tank, it's your responsibility in the end to make sure the pieces you put in your tank are safe. Setting up a quarantine would be the best idea!

I recommend floating your corals in the bag they come in until it matches your tank's temperature (takes about 30 minutes to an hour). I also recommend having the tank lights off or to float them in your sump. Afterwards, give them a dip in your coral dip of choice. Follow the directions and don't overdo the dosage, as some dips are very concentrated and harsh on corals. Popular ones are CoralRX, Revive, and Polyp Lab's Reef-Primer.

Reefers also use a pesticide you can find at your local hardware store called Bayer. Here's a great thread regarding it, it's what we personally use since it's very gentle on most corals: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bayer-insecticide-as-a-coral-dip.100496/

Coral dips don't kill all pests, but it generally does irritate them enough to the point of coming off the frag plug. Use a turkey baster after dipping to spray off any pests clinging on. If you see any hitchhikers you're unsure of, just remember the saying "when in doubt, toss it out." It's not worth risking your reef over an unknown! Just take a photo of the animal and find out later if it was a good or bad hitchhiker (smail, copepod, etc) when researching.

I would start all the corals you purchase lower in the tank, and move them around as they adjust a few days after! For the torch coral, give it an extra 2"-3" of space from other corals when you first purchase it. The tentacles will open up much more dramatically than when you receive it. After it settles down, you'll get a better idea of its size and can move it to a proper place.

For specific coral placement and care you have questions on, just reach out to us via email!

You can remove the corals off the plugs if you'd like, but I generally wouldn't recommend doing so the first few days they arrive until they've settled down.

Let me know if there's anything else I can assist with, and hopefully this post eases your concerns! We have one of the best shipping practices in the industry.

Hey there! I don't use a PAR meter for my tanks. But generally medium light with a mostly blue spectrum is what the corals are kept under! The chalices will like a bit lower light to holder a more solid coloration.

Hello there reefers! The new event has started. And this time, it's going to be a flash event. Throughout the next 30 minutes, photos of corals are going to be added to the forum.

Here's an example of a scavenger hunt event:
It's been another 30 minutes, so now it's time for another event! This time, it's the scavenger hunt. Randomly posted throughout the latest update are photos of corals that you can win. They will be hidden among photos of other corals on the site. Take a screenshot and post it here on R2R, showing the item. First to post gets it! There will be 2-3 scavenger pieces per event in increments of one coral every 10-15 minutes.​

You do not need to purchase the original coral to win the event coral. If you've already won a coral from this event, please let others participate and don't post the next ones.

Example: There is a Space Invader Pectinia that's hidden under the LC XXX Goniopora product page. There will also be a description that indicates that Image [HASH=123]#2,[/HASH] the Space Invader Pectenia, is indeed a part of the Scavenger Hunt Event. Post a photo that's similar to either of these and you win!

Does anyone recognize these little critters?
Are they Berghia Nudibranch?
I bought $300 worth from Salty Underground about 3 months ago to deal with an aptasia problem but never saw them again after adding them to my tank.
Now I have a ton of them in my refugium. But. I only see the when the refugium light is off.

Thanks Rev!


We won't be at Aquashella unfortunately.


Why yes we will! Here's a sneak peek of some shroomies.

I received my order and everything was as expected. The guys did an awesome job with the packaging. This is the best packaging I've seen from any coral suppliers on the internet to date. There was one or two that didn't look too well. I followed up with the guys and they actually gave me credit which I'll use for a future purchase. In summary, great merchant, great communication, and the products are of top-quality.
Will definitely do business with you guys again.

Thanks. This is a big deal for me because I thought my $300 spent on getting 25 of them was a big lost.
