DOA (Dead on Arrival) Guarantee

We stand behind the quality of our corals and packaging. In the rare case of DOA, we offer the following:

  • Claims must be submitted within 2 hours of the first delivery attempt.

  • You must provide clear photos of the coral in the sealed bag. Additional photos may be requested.

  • Approved DOA claims will be issued as store credit for the coral’s value. Shipping charges are non-refundable.

  • If shipping is delayed due to UPS (weather, mechanical issues, etc.), DOA claims will be handled case-by-case.

Important Notes

  • Missed or delayed pickups void the DOA guarantee.

  • Once corals are introduced to your system, we are no longer responsible for their condition, as tank parameters vary between setups.
