Well, I had a great time a the BACFM today, lots of fun people, and nice corals.

One of the reasons I went (because I have no money) was to get a replacement for my Lime in the Sky that did not even make it home last year. Well, #2 did not make it home, it's dead, the tissue has completely peeled off, and it's a white stick now >:(. Sucks too because Greg doesn't ship, and unlike Randy Newman, I don't love L.A. and have no plans on going there in the near future.

Live and learn I guess ::), if anyone want to take a stab at a dead stick of a coral you can have it for $50 which is $10 cheaper than I paid (should read wasted :()

Will the seller give you some kind of refund?

Sorry to hear. Are those Lime in the Sky frags so sensitive or did you have bad luck twice? Hopefully third time will work out for you.

My guess, is it is related to all the fresh cutting going on there + fresh cut frags prior...lots of toxins.

[/quote]Sadly it was a refund piece, at this point I will try to find one through local sources. I can't sit around for another year to risk getting another dead coral, I really like the LITS, and have wanted one for a while, but it seems to me that a different route would be a more ethical approach.

[/quote]You are absolutely right, tissue doesn't bail off a skeleton within hours for no reason.

Tim in Sac has a colony and he's selling frag here and there.
