I just ordered 24 frags from FragFarmer.com.... They look like they have really good frags. Lots of Shawn Bennet frag and stuff. ;p got me a frag of A. Tortusa from the Bennet collection... Will be in on weds... Along with the tank. LOL

FragFarmer has some nice frags. I have thought about ordering from them before but they are on the west coast and if I recall correctly shipping is something like $50 or so. What other species did you get? Post some pics when you get them, I'd like to see how big the frags are. I might just have to place an order with them one day.

Where are you storing the frags until the new tank is up?

In the reef... and in a couple of rubbermaid containers. I have an extra pump and Metal Halide bulb. Might tap into the refugium also.

Shipping was $96 for everything A bit expensive, but it's fedex by 10:30 next day air... And the sizes supposedly range from 3/4 inch to 3 inches. We will see when it comes in.

It will be interesting to see what comes in your frag packs. Please post some pics whenever you can. Thanks.:)

Ok Here's what happened. Eric at Fragfarmer forgot to place in the shipment 1 of the Frag packs. So I'm ten frags short.

On the upside. The bennett tort is worth every dime of it. Absolutely gorgeous.

Looks like I might have a Superman monti on the rise. Looks like it but the colors are faded a bit. Will be interesting to see it color up.

Taking photos to post now.

The packaging came in absolutely professional and extremely well packed.

I spoke to Eric and he has refunded my money for the missing frag pack.

Unfortunately none of the frags came mounted. Frag where did you buy those plugs?

That sucks about the missing frag pack, but glad to hear that they handled the situation for you quickly. I get the frag plugs at my LFS - Rob's Reef. As a matter of fact I just picked up four more bags today.

Superman Monti? Looks like it to me. Colors a little faded. Eric had mentioned that he had some that he was coloring up. Could this be one of them?

Grr still no Photoshop on this new computer.

Is the last blue one the Timor Turaki? Looks very nice. That is not a pice that you see all that often, at least around here.

LOL I don't know... None were labeled except for the Bennett Tort.

That is one thing I hate about ordering frags online is when they are not labeled. Especially when placing group orders with other locals to save on shipping.
