Fragbox Dissapointment

[Matt1997]

Are any of you almost always disappointed with the size of the frags from fragbox? Or is it just me?

 

[Josh]

What did you order?

 

[Matt1997]

I ordered a few blastos, one mini colony and one large frag, large acan frag, leather colony, gsp frag, favia frags, war coral, lobo, Tyree toadstool and a few others. Only a few I would deem reasonable in size. The one favia is the size of the lunula on a fingernail. The gsp is the size of a dime. Pretty dissapointing. The leather coral I was happy with. That was a good size as I bought it as a colony.

This just bring one of a few dissapointing orders from them. My last order was very unimpressive as well. I’m not going to say it’s my last time but I won’t be ordering from them frequently that’s for sure.

That gsp is a good investment, soon itll be the size of 1000 toonies

For sure it will. Mine used to grow over 4” a month

Any pics of the shipments to show it? This is the first I have heard of someone being disappointed with Fragbox. Normally people speak quite highly of him on social media.

I’ve ordered from them in the past- mostly sps but was always happy with the sizes

I've been in his shop a couple times. Seems comparable to other quality shops I've been to. Frag and colony sizes were about same size as anywhere else I've been.

Here are pics of two of the items. $20 gsp frag and $20 Tyree. Tyree was on sale from $40 so thankfully I did not pay $40.

Now as much as I have been dissspointed I have always received some corals that I am happy about. It seems like from others expierience I am a one off and most are more than satisfied with what they deliver. Maybe my expectations are to high or I’m easily deceived by what’s pictured. For that I will apologize to Fragbox. I will continue the activity of this thread though to hear more opinions. This torch was said to be the size of a hand when fully opened...it’s 1 head of that. I am impressed though with the long tentacle plate coral. It was said to be 4”, the skeleton is maybe 2” but I’m guessing they were referring to the open size of the coral.

Favia- this one was either freshly cut, damaged during shipping, or is receding but it looked like crap. I’ll try and get a better pic

^ I can see growth down the side so I’d say it wa sorobably cut weeks to a month ago , maybe stressed ?
