WELL...I just got the order.....my canary blennie is kinda on its side :( I don;t usualyy leave work for another hour, but I'm going to leave in 15 minutes so I can get this little guy in a warm tank and start acclimating it.
Can't tell about the derasa clam of course....it's in a black bag as is the yellow polyps....the pink polyps bag is almost empty of water...yikes...must have leaked....I will get them home asap...g2g close some things up so I can get outta here.....
wish me and the little fellas luck....updates later tonight
BTW...it's 36 here today

Good luck. I had a fish doing that once and I was worried about lack of oxygen and ammonia and I panicked and just threw him in the tank, no acclimation. Would you know, he's still alive.

SIGHHHHH...does not look good for the canary blennie or the clam
still acclimating though, but the clams mantle seems to be seperated from the shell....I am going to finish acclimating, and will see how it goes :(
The yellow polyps look like they are trying to open already...the pink, not yet, but remember they had to come right out...they had only a teaspoon (atmost) of water

the pink say 10 polyps...and I see close to 20

too bad about the blenny and the clam. Maybe with some care they will make it?
Corals look nice. I can tell you this, and as I am new to the saltwater bizz, I have only ordered once from SWF but it was at minimum what they said if not more. I like that. Packed good and came when it was suppose to.
Do me a favor and post anytime you are ordering, may keep me from getting any delays in my shipping seeing how you have all that bad luck and all..

Sun polyps and zoas will be okay by the looks of it. Don't know what you are talking about on the rock with the zoas that you don't know what they are. Where is the picture of the clam and blenny?

Aw. Yup the clam is a gonner too. Have you filed a claim with the SWF folks?
I had already talked to them yesterday when I found out the plane had engine trouble...
Of course I had to wait for the order to arrive, and YES...I have now filed the claim
because it was a shipping error, they will just do a re-ship that is when they get more Derasa clams in...maybe next week....but now we must worry about Christmas

Closed up polyps of some sort. Maybe the same zoas you ordered, maybe some other type of palythoa. When they open you will know.
LOL...I ordered PINK...those things are NOT the same as the "unopen" pink ones....AS YOU SAID....we shall see...as soon as they open I'll get a pic
I hope they are not ugly

My yellow ones have opened even more
