anyone order stuff from burc? i been talking to him a bit and was going there maybe next weekend. i been reading alot of reviews and i seen some pretty bad stuff when he ships. but i heard he has alot of nice corals. looking for anyone input on him if its worth the trip or not. and if everything is good and some of you want stuff maybe we can work something out and i can bring back stuff for people.

Ive heard you get really tiny frags

i have heard that he is a lot better than he used to be.
i also know a couple people that have recently picked up some fantastic coloneys from him recently.  i wont mention any names.

I have heard that getting stuff shipped from there can be iffy, but I went and picked some stuff up a year or so back - was a really good guy, and all but one frag lived.  Smallish, but for that kind of variety of $10 frags, I was very very pleased.

i was looking at picking up about 20 frags and 2 big corals. he has some open brains i just havnt seen around here and zoas the gf loves cuz there pink lol.

Burc is a really nice guy and I have purchased several frags from him. I do suggest picking them up rather than getting them shipped. This way you know exactly what you are getting. The one time I ordered from him he shipped me the wrong ones. He was very good about it and made up for it. He sent me 2 different frags which he let me keep then gave me a 4 frag credit for my next order. His frags are fairly small, however, for $10 / piece, you shouldn't expect much bang for your buck.

its harder to grow the coral out into a healthy colony when you start with tiny frags that were most likely just fragged 2 days before you pick it up  , there are mixed reveiws on purchasing from fragalot , alot of his coral is fragged and bagged from what I have read . I have also been to his place and checked out his systems nice set-ups , nice guy .

What about is WYSIWYG corals? They nice size for like $40 and up or they also real small?

i have ordered from him before, once picking up from his house the other time i had them shipped, he packs and ships very well! when you oder a 1" frag you get a 1"frag so they arent exactly "small" you get what you pay for...as reeffreek said it is hard to get tiny frags to grow properly..i find they often just encrust.

this being said if you make an order or head down there i wouldnt mind getting a couple Acan frags

buy a colony from him for $40 then cut it into four and sell off three pieces...

it'll be way bigger than a 1" frag and larger frags seem to heal and move on quicker.

The WYSIWYG would be decent sized corals. The only problem is when the picture was taken... For all you know it could have browned out by now. Still the same coral but not as healthy... That's why it is always better to purchase in person.
