Didn't know where else to put this so I am putting it here.
I received my order today at 12:15 and proceded to open everything up and take a good look. Just like last time, 1 of the 2 pepps perrished in the journy up here and again they were teeny tiny little things. Looks like I am going to have another pepp live in my sump for a month or 2 again. The emerald crab was missing a leg or 2. I didnt pay for an adopted crab, but I got one anyway. The cheato was more than enough for my sump and it looked like it didnt have any pods on it but thats ok. The copepods were delivered in a different package and it looked like there were fewer of them in there. The one thing I was worried about looks to be here in perfect health, the mandarin. S/He is very colourful and very vibrant. Seems to be just chillin during aclimation.
So I have come to a conclusion. I will no longer be purchasing fish or inverts from online resellers. Coral seems to do much better in shipping. I am not blaming SWF for the shipping of inverts and not arriving alive. These shrimp are barely bigger than a penny and its no wonder that they didnt survive being tossed around and whatnot. I will post back pics of the mandarin once he is introduced into the tank.
