Has anyone here ordered the Green Rics from Saltwaterfish.com?

[tsg]

I recently purchased some of the Green Rics that are currently on sale. I know that they are stressed and aren't going to show their true colors immediately after shipping, but mine look completely brown, no color at all. My digital camera's battery is dead or I'd provide a pic. I sure hope they look at least a little like the one that is presented in the picture for purchase.
Anybody else order any of these specific rics? If so, how do they look after being in the tank for awhile? This was my first order from here and I'm not sure exactly what to think at the moment.
Thanks,
Hopeful but a little concerned

I have ordered the green and orange rics. Sorry to tell you, but mine came out of the bag green. It was smaller than I expected but looked good.

Mine came small, but opened up after a few days. A couple were very light green, and the other was brownish. The light green ones are now a really bright green, and the brownish one is now purple with green tips on the little tentacles (and it's now two--it divided after a month or so). They look great, and they really do open up. Give them some time.

Yea mine are still brown and it's been about 2 weeks. Hope to get some color soon.

I had mine for a wek now and it is bright green. I wa surprised on how small it was but it is starting to look bigger. I feed the tank some photoplankton for the ric and the cleanershrimp. I only have them for a week right now but they look like they are doing good.

IME, rics can looks significantly different under different lighting and tank conditions. I bought some a while back that were bright gree when I bought them and now they are kinda blue/green. I've also got some pink rics that looked orange when I bought them.
