I got the $500 box and went with 12 corals. I'm starting to wonder if I should've picked less corals in the box. Honestly, it doesn't matter what I choose I will always second guess my choices.
I have always gone with the least amount of frags, however I'm sure the 12 will be nothing less than amazing for sure.

My last order I went lower than the most for my box size and I wondered if I shouldn't have because when I look at the corals on his site there are cheaper ones that look almost as nice as the expensive ones, which is why I went with the most this time. After placing the order I put all of the frags from my rack onto the rockwork and realized I'm running out of space, so I was considering asking him to lower it to 8 instead of 12.
You're right no matter how many I get I will be happy, ecspecially for this price.

The one thing I really appreciate is how well encrusted these all are. Every picture you'll notice they're not just healed, but actively growing at the base. That's the sign of a good frag. Next time you are looking to buy frags. Hold these pieces up as the gold standard of what a healthy frag is supposed to be, big, entrusting and long in captivity. I hate getting a half inch piece, freshly cut, if you bring it around, you'll be 6 months behind what these guys do. Mine were full polyp extension within a half hour of being put in the tank.

Sorry Adam for all the trouble with shipping. I think I can speak for everyone by saying we all really appreciate your efforts.

I just recieved my box today. Everything looks healthy but I haven't gotten them in the tank yet. I will post pics after they're in the tank and I turn the lights back on.

I tried taking pictures with an app the has a high white balance so it makes everything look like it actually does, but I suck at taking close up pics. Here they are but don't expect much.

As always, couldn’t be happier. Requested the bleeding tree and got a bunch that I wanted anyways. Somehow I think Adam tracks your IP and what you drool over.

All I use is an iPhone and one of the clip on filters from PolypLab (V1 I believe) and it takes away the blue effect and shows what you really see. Super simple and worth every penny.

I use an app to remove the blue appearance but I have a hard time getting a focused shot. I really need to buy a filter to try with my wifes dslr camera.

What app?
The app I use is called AZ Camera. It's a free app on android, I'm not sure if it's on iPhone or not. It's just a camera app that allows you to control shutter speed, iso, and white balance. Turning the white balance all the way up makes the color on corals fairly true to real life. I struggle to get a pic that isn't blurry though, but that likely could be me having some other setting wrong. I'm not ecspecially good with photography.
