Sale Picks questions
What do WYSIWYG, Stock and Gallery mean?
- WYSIWYG: you receive the exact coral photographed.
- Stock coral: you receive a frag from the same mother colony; the photo is a reference image.
- Stock anemones, inverts and fish: the photo is a stock reference image and does not show the exact animal you receive.
- Gallery (cut to order): we cut a fresh frag of about 1–2 inches from the colony shown, and it needs at least 2 weeks to heal; after you order, our team will contact you to confirm the ship date.
When will my coral ship and arrive?
- Ship days: We normally ship Tuesday and Wednesday, by FedEx Priority Overnight: Tue ship for Wed arrival, Wed ship for Thu arrival. An order paid by 2 PM ET on a ship day goes out that day; later orders go in the next ship day’s box.
- 2026 holiday season: Ship days can change around holidays, and the latest notice on tiacoral.com (the “Next: ship” line at the foot of every page) takes precedence. Confirmed 2026 holiday schedule: the week of 11/16 ships Mon 11/16, Tue 11/17 and Wed 11/18. Thanksgiving week ships Mon 11/23 and Tue 11/24. No shipping Wed 11/25 through Sun 12/06; orders ship Tue 12/08 or Wed 12/09. The last ship days of 2026 are Tue 12/15 and Wed 12/16. No shipping Thu 12/17 through Mon 1/18; orders ship Tue 1/19 or Wed 1/20. Why: in the holiday shipping rush carriers are overloaded and delays are common, which is not safe for live coral, so every order ships on the next safe ship day.
- Your date: For WYSIWYG and Stock pieces, choose your ship-out date in the cart; it arrives the next day. The carrier sets the delivery hour. Any other ship or arrival date is a custom request the TIA team decides, so contact us before you buy.
- Healing time: Gallery (cut to order) frags need at least 2 weeks to heal; our team contacts you after you order to confirm the ship date.
- Where: We ship to the lower 48 and Alaska (no Hawaii or U.S. territories). In a remote part of Alaska? Contact us before you buy.
- Friday: Friday delivery (shipped Thursday) is by request only, and we strongly recommend against it — ask before you buy. We never ship on Friday, so there is no Saturday delivery.
- Cost: Shipping is $29.99 to NY, NJ and CT, $49.99 to other eligible states, and free on retail orders over $299 (auction wins excluded).
What does the live arrival guarantee cover?
- How long: Coverage runs 72 hours from actual delivery, and carrier delays are covered.
- How to claim: To make a claim, use our DOA claim form with a clear photo or video, with the coral in its original sealed bag where possible. Email alone does not open a claim.
- Not covered: Two exceptions: if the first delivery attempt is missed, the guarantee no longer applies; and if we identify a weather or carrier-schedule risk before shipping, contact you, and you ask us to ship anyway, loss caused by that risk is not covered.
- Resolution: Claims are resolved with replacement livestock or store credit only. Shipping charges, original and replacement, are never refundable.
