    It gets crazy with everyone trying to snipe the coral. Bidding accelerates until the last 10 to 30 seconds and then it hair flying all over the place. It can become addicting.

    I'm kinda nervous I just bid on some and he has good reviews but a few bad ones. And some corals no bids yet.

    Kind of normal on low bids for some corals and also a few negative ratings. Some bidders blame the seller for shipper problems.

    The sellers who are sponsors here are quite good.

    I've purchased about 10 Zoanthid frags off ebay before. Had to dip them good and found malicious entities on 1 of the 10 frags..

    If you're following general dipping/quarantine guidelines, you'll be OK!

    All 10 frags ended up perfectly fine afterwards.. good purchase experience!
