Just got word from the shipper and confirmed it with CFR that the Darth Mauls and Rainbows are on their way and I will pick them up at Fedex first thing in the morning on the way in to work. I will tank a 5gl bucket with SW and place them in there so there will be less in-package time. I am thinking, after talking with the sender, that these will be some nice and healthy palys.
Will post pics after I get them home tomarrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

OK. So how am I supposed to get any sleep tonight? I think for the first time in my life I might actually be on time getting to work. Fedex opens at 8, wait, I think I am supposed to be at work at 8 so maybe not after all.
Well, I wouldn't want to freak the boss out anyway.

Yeah, seriously if you show up on time they might start expecting it from you. We are all counting on you to be late to work tomorrow!

Yay, hope these are nice, and if anyone can make sure that happens, its you
. Hope these are as nice as the one large one in your grow out pic.

Picked em up couple hours ago and put them in the bucket. Looks like they melted. Kidding.
No, they look fine. Alredy started to open. No camera here at work but will get some pics once I get them home and in the system.
Looks like we were done good by the seller. Extras too but can't make out what is what right now since I am keeping them in the dark. I think the extras are more count on the rainbows.

Got them in the tank. A little dissappointed in the size of the DM. For some reason thought they were a large paly. Maybe these are babies and will grow larger. Rainbows are nice and large. There looks to be one new growth on the rainbows about to pop open. Got a feeling the DM may be a little faster growing then first thought. They look like a wide mat type. I have noticed with that kind growth is good. The mat tends to grow out and away from the polyps covering the substrate it is attatched to and the polyps pop up from every direction. Let's hope this is the case with DM.
Here is a pic after they got into the tank and will get another once they fully open later.
A note on the shipper; supurb shipping methods. Took unusual care in packing these and called last evening to LMK they were on the way and noted for Fedex to ring me when they arrived at the Fedex facilities for P/U.
