k so my shippment of inverts was amazing each little shrimp or crab was in its own bag and there was some chaeto for them to hold on too.
i only had one thing die on me and it was dead already when i looked into its bag, it was a bumble bee shrimp i have another that's doing great.
Also i ordered one yuma i got 5 on a huge rock lmao.
Oh yea i also got another emperor shrimp for free lmao that im amazed about lmao i didn't believe it hehe. the guy i talked with even bagged the shrimp him self and hes the owner of the big company, i also got a free drip line which u can see, also some free mixed fish food which contains a billion different things. and some chemical thats good for healing and acclimating. i didn't notice it intill the end so i didn't use it.
the bad thing was that thru the guy called me and told me that all my pom poms shed and don't have there little pom poms and asked if i wanted to wait for other ones that do have them and i said no just send them anyway, so i got ones which have no anemones. I talked to the guy and he will refund me the little shrimp and he said he has a way of fixing my pom pom crabs so they do have anemones.

Hey sweetie!~
Sorry, I have been MIA the last day or so... been extremely busy at work interviewing and credentialing new Doctor's.
But OMG!! The invert shipment you got is awwwwwwwwesome!!~
How is everything doing now? Are you able to keep up with them in your tank? I hope they're not all hiding. I love the anemone shrimp! The sexy shrimp looks like they are soooo tiny! Same with the emperor shrimp! I had NO idea that they were SO small! I got mine today and he is so tiny and delicate looking.
And I need the name of this company where you paid for one yuma and ended up with a rock with 5 yumas on it??
Everything looks great! Let me know how they're all getting along!~

Question for ya.... does an emperor shrimp make a light tapping noise?
Every once in a while, I will hear a light tapping noise coming from my tank. I can replicate the sound by tapping the edge of my fingernail on my desk very lightly. It's like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (read it like that with no pause)
I never heard it before I added the emperor shrimp, so that's why I'm asking if it's possible that it's him.
I haven't seen it since I added it to my tank on Saturday.
Hmmmm......

k i guess im getting my coral package tomorrow or Friday
Also i bought some brine shrimp today i added a couple of drops of kent phyto to it and then added some to the tank.
my Mandarin did eat a couple but the crabs went crazy grabbing it and stuff, i also noticed this morning a pom pom with something pink/red it looked like it was holding it, i was thinking its to quick to be eggs but sure enough i came home today and it still has the red sack so i guess one of my crabs is goin to be giving birth
Suckz im no where close to setting up my breeding set up yet=(.
some old pics more later tonight if i can take some good shots. also if anyone knows a good camera to take macro shots with under 100 bucks plz let me know=P.

yay yay my coral shippment will come tomorrow i can't wait
party:
ALL THANX TO WALTER
i have a question on acclimating corals to my light b/c i want to make sure i don't lose anything.
My plan is to have the lights off for the first day all together to let the corals get used to my water. I will have all the coral at the bottom that way when i do turn on the light its not to much for them.
then i will only have my lights on for 2 hours and then i will add a hour or 2 each day, hows that sound? after i see my coral are doin great i will move them higher and start placing/gluing them to where i want

I'm sure that someone more educated than me can help you with your coral acclimating question....
I just wanted to say that I can't wait to see all your new stuff once you get it settled in and they start opening for you.
and I see that you just had to show pics of YOUR emperor shrimp being all visible and stuff.
(gorgeous pic, BTW!) but anyway... soooo not right! I still haven't seen my emperor and haven't heard the light tapping anymore either!
