But since its done I'll answer. I have ordered corals off of ebay before and picked them up locally. This calls for a very inexpensive coral, especially if its an auction with no other bidders. Some of the people that sell on ebay are just hobbyists that have extra corals, you can tell from their listing templates. Always check their feedback and read EVERYTHING before buying.
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware
