Just posting this to share my experience with GCReef. FYI, I am no way related with GCReef in any way. I'm just a happy customer.

I was in a hunt for birdsnest SPS when I found GCReef's banner on top of RC. It was already Friday and decided to email them if they can still ship it the same day so I can get them Saturday. They emailed back promptly and said if I place the order 3pm CST, they can. Cool.

Anyway, here are the unboxing and some pics of the 3 nice sized birdsnest that they sent.

Box with Saturday delivery + hold tags

Premium, thick box with with heat packs. Ok, to be honest, when I opened the box, it was a bit cold inside. Water was quite cold too which worried me, so I hope they use better heat packs in the future.

Packed and bagged very well.

ORA Pink - huge colony! 2 small branches snapped off but it's understandable considering how fragile they are.

Staff were really friendly, even calling me to give updates on my order and called me again to check if I got my order in good condition (didn't get to answer their call but left a message).

All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the service and their corals, and will order again if I see anything good.

Thanks GCReef!

Reggie,
I am very pleased you had a good experience and posted this review of us. I am sorry about the heat packs, it actually has been very warm here in Texas, so we wanted to err on the side of risking a little cold more than hot, safer for the corals.
Your tank looks great and the frags from us all look very good.
Thanks again.
