I will be fragging a bunch of SPS a week from Saturday and was wondering how people feel about getting unhealed frags. I would prefer a healed frag over a fresh cut 1! What do you think?

I definitely prefer healed frags, but the fresh cut ones usually do just as well.

For me it depends on the person and if I know them.

If I bought a fresh cut frag from you and it didn't make it, would you be willing to replace it? I probably wouldn't expect the same if it was a healed frag. Also if I was going to go from your tank and take it home and put it mine immediately I'd be more comfortable buying a fresh cut frag.

Bens point is why I dont like shipping fresh cuts because it is easy to replace local people shipping gets expensive for replacements

If the new home for these frags have good water params, it shouldn't be a problem. I've seen Jeff's tank and I have no issues with new frags from his tank.

Hey Jeff, what was that grape color digi I got from you. The flesh was pink but the polyps were purple. It colored up nicely and polyps extend nicely. There was one or two areas that bleached but it recovered fast.

Tyree Blue polyped digitata I think. Glad it's doing well for you!

I would much rather have a well healed frag especially if it was a $125.00 then to take a chance on a fresh cut 1. Whenever I buy a pricey frag like that I will pay for it and let it heal in the fraggers tank

I wouldn't mind freshly cut from Jeff's tank either. But I do agree with him that if I'm paying $150+ for a small frag I would want it to be healed.

When I buy from Jbutler I always pay and wait 4 or 5 days. Never had a problem with any of the healed frags.
