Mike, Glad to hear that you are pleased with your new inhabitants from The Reef Shoppe. It is great to see how large SPS colonies such as this can handle a long trek during winter conditions. Apart from the Tri-Color Nana, damage looks minimal. Also happy to see that that Acro crab made the trip. Thanks for this post and your compliments. Let us know when you are ready for another shipment. :wink:

well this one is DEAD died last night, when i took it out of the box the bag was super hot from the heater bag it was sitting on. Im kinda mad that was the only coral that i didnt want to see get wacked.
i didnt think that it was going to make it. I was hoping thou, it was still slimy this morning when i got up still and the fish room smelled really bad too. And it was like some one snoted on the coral.

You got some really nice sized corals there. No more little frags for you, and the guy who sent them even followed up on the order, now that is customer service. Hey once i get my tank going im going to need some frags :wink::wink: your tank is going to be full in no time then your going to need a new tank already.

well this one is dead died over night along with the tri color acro, is half dead, I don't know what came over it. im stumped over the whole idea, pretty upset. and i was ready topack it in , this afternoon when i cam home and seen the humilis totally white the fish room stunk and the tri color was half dead.
Emailed Kelly at REEF shoppe and talked to him to vent and he said NOT TO WORRY I Will get you sorted out on the next bali shipment. WOW that blew me away. he didnt have to do anything. that is what makes him a wicked store owner. i don't even think he second guess the question just nope don't worry mike i will get you another one.. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
A++++++++++++++++++++++++
Man i wish that he lived closer....

thanks KELLY you ROCK
