I just ordered from aqua SD for the first time.
I ordered five LPS mystery pack, does anybody know what kind they like to send.
I'm also curious about how they package they're corals.
Thank you.

They have a huge on-line business that handles lots of ship outs each day. The coral will be carefully wrapped and sealed with metal closures on plastic bags. Those will be enclosed inside a Styrofoam shipping box contained inside of a cardboard box along with heat packs to keep the corals cozy while the freight service drop kicks the box to your door.

Mystery packs are just that. They have to provide each customer with an assortment of corals that seems fair and that makes a person happy with the quality and selection of the random items. I don't know what they have in mind but I have seen their website and I would expect a torch or Lobo, a hammer, a duncan or favia, and a green meat coral just for you. @AquaSD, hook a guy up, please and thank you!

Of course it might have some regular acans, or a cup coral & bubble coral in the mix, they have it all. It will be nice, for sure! That's how they role (roll?)

When does it arrive?

I love the team over at Aqua SD! I've ordered from them a few times, and always top-notch service and corals! You'll be pleased! Post what you get! LPS are my fav. :)
Agreed. Definitely post what you get, that is a lot of mystery packs and I'd love to see what they net you. I've always been too chicken to order a mystery pack from anywhere, also I'm looking to fill in gaps in my coral Pokedex and don't need another Duncan, Acan or certain things.

Top notch and ridiculously good prices in general. When something I ordered wasn’t available the offered to let get something at equivalent price. Ended up with a Acan chunk that went originally for 150 and got it for sale price of 40. Here’s the chunk and a couple others

Ive ordered multiple times from them and packaging is always on point. I have yet to have a DOA. Mystery boxes are just that, a mystery so it will have a variety of what you "might" like and probably some u dont like.

Ive bought 1 box of corals like that from a different vender, "Battle Corals" and i was extremely disappointed especially after seeing some of the corals they offer compared to what i got. So i vowed never to buy anything i did not pick out myself.

But then there are other people who love the mystery boxes so good luck

My experience with AquaSD has been great. I have ordered from them since 2019. Never had issue with their packaging. Oh and their customer service, quality and prices are awesome! Hope you share pics of your LPS box :).

Aussie Neon Green Toadstool (received 2019), he was about 3-4 inches when received, looks a little rough as he was recently trimmed because he was about 18 inches and shading other corals).

Update. They arrived yesterday. These pictures are from this morning They all came in super healthy and looking great. Pictures are from this morning. Now i need help identifying theses beauties. I is a kryptonite candy cane and I think the one in the first picture is an acan( but not sure) All the others, I haven't got any slightest idea.
