Yes I was going to order one from him too as well as some gorgonians but he figured the shipping time was not good for the livestock so shipping ended up not being an option.

Its only been a few days but already I am seeing some growth. My sargassum is sprouting some new leaves all over, my calpura prolifera has little leaf buds all along the stems and the unknown calcilferous macro has white tips all over like an birdsnest sps. My softies are getting pretty happy too, ive never seen them so puffed up and happy looking
Ive noticed some new macros too. They are hitch hikers. Theres one that looks like a fern on the end of a palm tree trunk and another that looks like cheato but its in straight stalks as if the cheato was grass.

I havent seen the starfish since that day but I expected that. Hopefully things keep up and stay healthy and thrive.

Yet another sad few days. This thread is getting depressing.
My grandmother (Vavo in portuguese) passed away. I was very close to her. She pretty much raised me until i was 14 because my parents worked so much. Even then I visited her often. Shes been so sick lately. In the end she was in so much pain. Her body was giving up on her and in horrible ways. Im glad shes not suffering anymore but Im sad that shes gone. She was the only one in my family I had nearly everything in common with. She and my dad were the only ones to ever make me feel special, to ever be proud of me; and now they are both gone. In the last 2 1/2 years we have had 6 family deaths. 5 have been personal to me.
I hope this stops for the next few years. Our family needs a death break.

Sorry to hear this unhappy incident & I share the feeling for my father had passed away last year.

Thank you for your kind words. Two of my collegues have passed this week as well and a third is in critical condition. One passed from brain cancer. She found out about it and passed in less than a week. The other two were from a car accident. One died at the scene and the other is in Vancouver hospital in critical condition. Just horrible.

On a slightly brighter note, I found and caught the crab that was in my tank. After some research I believe it to be a spider decorator crab. He definitely 'decorated' himself pretty well. He actually creeps me out so Im going to see if the lfs wants him. I am no on the lookout for my pep shrimp I recently purchased. I havent seen him in a few days so im hoping hes just hiding and the crab didnt get him. We shall see.

Yikes, my condolences. I can't even imagine having to have that many deaths so close to home. Peppermints often hide (well), I have 2 and rarely see them but they are there.
