The other members have graciously offered to pay in advance so I am the ambassador for the buy.

OK, order is cut off. Participants are;

Orders need to be finalised for tomorrow morning. I will need to send the list to J&L by noon today to allow them to confirm stock.

The order sheet is in from J&L and sent to your e-mail accounts. Let me know what you want to keep/delete and I will submit the final order for Wednesday morning. Payment needs to be received by Wednesday evening.

Thanks Charles for organizing/collecting/transporting the order. Great job!

For anyone looking at ordering from J&L: quality was good but sizes were small. The price advantage isn't that much better when you factor in the size and the fact you don't get to see the individuals first. The clownfish are beautiful. Crisp markings, good color. I think from ORA. The procelain crabs both had one claw missing. I think they will give up their arms as a defence mechanism. I didn't see the claws in the bag so must have been earlier. I believe they grow back. Ordered 3 but only 2 arrived. The snails and hermit crabs all seemed healthly though we'll need to see how they do over the next 24 hours.

I do agree on the sizes mostly. The yellow clown goby was pico sized, not nano the clown green goby was closer to actual size. Clean up and shrimp seemed close to the size in local stores and as said will see how they do over the next while.

Only potential issue was the gobies wanting to perch on the torch coral.
