WILL I RECEIVE THE CORAL I SEE

Shopping for live coral for sale online can be worrisome. A reef hobbyist can never be 100% sure what coral is going to show up in the mail once an order is placed. Will it look like the coral seen online? Although there is no way the online coral shopping experience will fully replace an in-person visit to Zeo Box Reef Aquaculture, What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) corals help. With WYSIWYG corals for sale here at Zeo Box Reef Aquaculture, you can at least see the actual coral frag or colony before you buy. The WYSIWYG corals are photographed under a mix of ATI T5 fluorescent bulbs and LED's. We also try to include multiple shots of the coral as well as the appearance of the WYSIWYG coral under different types of lighting. If the description does not state WYSIWYG you will receive a very close representation of the coral frag or colony shown. Size of the coral colony will be stated in the product tittle.

Can I expect the coral I see online to match what I receive in my order?

Shopping for live coral for sale online can be a source of worry for reef hobbyists, who can never be entirely sure what will arrive in the mail. Will it resemble the coral they saw online? While there is no substitute for an in-person viewing of the coral, we offer What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) corals to alleviate concerns. Our WYSIWYG corals allow you to preview the actual coral fragment or colony before making a purchase. We take pride in photographing all our corals under Ecotech Radion G5 LED Light fixtures. We use professional-grade Full Frame DSLR cameras and lenses to capture the highest quality representation of the coral. We also provide multiple photos of the coral under different light spectrums, including full spectrum (white light) and heavy blue spectrum. We also offer size approximations for every coral in centimeters. This measurement is taken when the coral is fully expanded, providing you with a better understanding of the amount of space the coral will occupy in your aquarium.

How will my order be packaged?

Zeo Box Reef Aquaculture prides itself on being a leader in the industry for packaging and shipping corals. We have a meticulous approach to packaging methods to ensure that your order arrives in optimal condition. Our team carefully hand-picks and packs each order with great care. Coral fragments are placed in specially designed containers and secured using chemically inert foam floats. For larger corals, we use a double-bagging method and add activated carbon to achieve optimal water quality during shipping. To maintain the ideal temperature conditions during transit, we use thick-walled styrofoam boxes with heat/cold packs as needed. Our shipping options include door to door Star Track Premium freight or same day Airport-to-Airport delivery. Both options are fast and secure.
