I sold some on <insert auction site here> and the receiver said he put it in his tank and it killed as his dwarf sea horses. I don't see how that could have happened, any one know much about this?

That I can understand... but I would think if someone is ordering algae off a website and owns a sea horse tank that the know a thing or two about SW tanks. Why would they add this directly to their tank after shipment? Especially if they were concerned about the quality. I just don't get that.
I'm wondering if the person plans on making this an even bigger issue. So far they want me to send more, saying I didn't send enough in the first place... then the next email was that his whole tank crashed because of my caulerpa (saying that the breakdown of the fern caused his water to be toxic) next I'm scared it will be money back... then negative feedback.. blah blah.
I mean seriously, if you thought the quality was so bad why would you ask someone to send you even more?

I would tell the buyer to send me the dead sea horses If they died. Sea horses are really delicate and only live for a couple of years. Could this be a coincidence?
When you keep horses you know “not to just throw anything into the tank with out precaution“.
My opinion , the buyer feels he did not get enough and wants more from you with out paying. Some buyers on the “BAY” are scummy.
Be assertive with the buyer and don’t worry about negative feedback, you can reply to feedback left and post a “follow up reply” to the buyer if he leaves an unjust feedback.
