- HUGE hammer, probably 20 heads or more
- 2 different types of finger leathers (full size)
- Wellsy
- Devil's Finger
- Cabbage
- Rhodactis
- Joker's
- Acan Lord
- another Acan that may be saved
- briareum
- Ox's Play's
- Tongan

WOW....did you just leave him your credit card

Sounds like I should have gone. We did win the ballgame though (14-6).
Just about! And I didn't even empty his tank. Lots of really nice stuff was still left behind. I did end up with at least 4 different colored mushrooms too. I'm sure I'm forgetting what else was there. Also lots of Xenia that most of it went into the refugium. I'm going to take the Cheato out slowly and start using the Xenia as filtration in there. Actually Xenia should slowly starve the cheato.

No pics yet. The larger finger leathers are still bent over as they were so huge and heavy.
There is a gorgeous and very rare Rhodactis that is a morp between a ricordea and hairy mushroom (if I remember the second party correctly). The colors in it is something I've never seen before. I hope to get a good picture of that this weekend when it opens up completely.
I feel like Christmas was today!

Well, I have received my package

Dead:
- 4 peppermint shrimp
- WYSIWYG Green Scrolling Montipora capricornis
Near death, trying to revive:
- WYSIWYG Green Velvet Pocillopora
Hoping to survive:
- 2 Shaving Brush Plant
UPS is taking care of their end and paying the vendor for the losses and I've been requested to place a new order of same value. Unfortunately they don't have those 2 SPS's that I had ordered so I'm waiting to see what pieces they would recommend from their cherry picked selection.

Aww man. I hope that pocill lives. Dunno how tough they are but youll know quick if its going to. Are you going to ship UPS again or busting for Fedex?

 

[cmaxwell39]

Sorry to hear about that. Hope the rest of your stuff lives. I hate it when stuff gets messed up in shipping.

Thanks guys. I'm going to place another order tomorrow and we'll use UPS. Out of the dozens and dozens of shipments I get through UPS, this is the only one that they messed up. USPS is far more unreliable shipper IMO.

So where did they end up finding it?
