Might as well add to this topic since I got my fish yesterday as well, also from SWF.com I got 2 yellow wrasses, 1 bi-color blennie and 1 blue spotted mushroom. They're all doing fine. At first one of the yellow wrasses was picking on the other (smaller) but this morning they're getting along great. The blennie is hilarious to watch.
The fish are in the QT, the mushroom is in my main tank also doing good.
Overall I have to say I'm really impressed with SWF.com Everything was packed well, with plenty of packing material to keep to bags cushioned, there were 2 heat packs inside, each fish in its own bag. I would definitely order from them again.

That and the yellow tang. They are algea eaters and pick at the rock all day. There dosent look to be any mature rock in the tank that could sustain either or.

sry, do a little research or ask your marine biologist, or whoever else you want to pay to think for you, before you go typing and making a fool of yourself.
mandarins eat NOTHING but pods. They will eat thousands a day if the opportinity arrises. pods need rock and refugiums to thrive in enough numbers to live and reproduce to feed a mandarin. this mandarin will have about 2 months before the OP comes here and asks, why did my mandarin die.
EDIT: yes, some will eat frozen brine or pellets ocassionally, but this is far from the norm, and brine is useless food anyway.

Ive bought corals from here and they are great! I got a ric and it was one heads and now there is three. I dont know who or where you got this information from but its not true. Saltwaterfish has great corals and fish. If you made this up or something stop. Unless you have been to the warehouse and looked at every coral and inspected them and noticed that they were dying. Which I know you have not. So just cut the crap.

Yea, I don't have a lot of experience with buying from SWF.com but the coral mushrooms I got are doing great. When I opened the bag, there were 6 little mushrooms attached to the rock. After a few hours in the tank they all opened up and are now 6 large, beautiful mushrooms. What more could I have asked for?

If all you want to do is bash SWF then why are you here? They have a forum for people to learn not for people to bash the site. If you dont have anything nice to say then leave. There are plent of forums that you can go to and bash whoever you want. Im going to stop arguing cause your going to hire someone to talk back to me.
