Atlantic Sea Farms Store Policy

We pride ourselves in selling a wide variety of quality livestock, with 10 years of experience and 5+ years online. We are inovators of many quality livestock products such as WYSIWYG frags and our own pieces multi-colony cultured corals.

We ship healthy livestock and guarantee that it arrives to you alive and healthy and stays alive at least 48 hours in your system. If you experience a loss in that time frame then you must send us a clear digital photo within 48 hours of your receiving your order and save the dead animal for return upon our request. We issue only store credit to be used for a future order. We accurately represent the color of items on our site, but we do not guarantee an exact color match on WYSIWYG items, colors vary for too many reasons in different systems. Most wild collected and ocean maricultured corals naturally change color in captive systems and when stressed due to shipping, expect color shifts as the coral slowly acclimates to your system over a period of several weeks, this is a natural process that occurs with all corals in captive systems. Shipping and box charges are charged on all orders including any replacements, we do not offer free shipping but do offer subsidized low flat rate shipping.

We do not guarantee livestock colors. Photos on our site of WYSIWYG items are taken from above with a digital camera with the white balance set to accurately capture the color as it appears to us. Photos on our site accurately represent the item in our facility, colors will vary for a number of reasons in different systems and we do not guarantee an exact color match in your tank. Corals are kept under 20,000K lamps with actinic supplementation, this is what we have found after years of experience to be the best lighting for corals. Fluorescent coral colors will only show proprerly if you use some actinic lighting.
Acclimation instructions are included with every order, please follow them carefully for the best health of your animals. It is highly recommended that all animals be quarantined before adding them to your display tank. We treat our systems monthly for red bugs and flatworms, but highly recommend that you still quarantine all items.
We only ship within the US, sorry we do not ship internationally.
