Unfortunately I'd say you paid too much if that's just for the corals.

One of your duncans, the trachy and the green slimer all look to not be doing too hot either. Unfortunately I agree with highgrade.

As long as they are improving, then you must be doing something right for them. LPS are great, because for the most part... as long as there is flesh left, there is still hope. They can often come back from what we might think is "certain death" to be 100% again. It just takes time and care.

In texas, that was a bit much, but not outlandish. The condition of the corals is what brings the value down IMO. If they are coming back for you, then all is good

I will research all of them now amd make sure about to spot feed everything and my fish. Hope everything turns out okay! Just glad i ID'd everything right lol.....not worries about the softies but SPS and LPS need to live.

You do have some good online stores up there. Google Canada coral frags. I found a few well reviewed ones, prices looked good too. Wait til spring to shop those though. Even here in Minnesota we get things frozen sometimes in winter.
