Okay packages sent off to coral junky (I got ahold of him via phone) and Grabbit Who I haven't been able to contact will email again today. So the ball is back in play if Grabbit is still playing!

Corals are now in the hands of US postal service. Three choices of sending - regalar bulk rate, priority, or express. Bulk rate was like $6 per box, priority was $8 per box and express was $33 per box. I sent out priority. Grabbit pm'd me so he is aware corals enroute. He asked and I believe I told him correctly that V Martino was next anf Reefkeeperz after that. This has been fun and enjoyable so count me in if another go round takes place.

This is a really neat idea. As soon as I have corals worth trading, I'll have to check back here and see if I can join in! :D

Hey everybody, just got the package from Dennis about five minutes ago.
Unfortunately, since it was sent three days ago and the box was DRENCHED, I imagined the worst, but alas, it was odorless. I open up the package and both frags are alive!
Will contact V Martino about shipping info for Monday right now...

Glad everything lived. I double bagged and then a ziplock over that and still leaked. Well I tried. That should be a orange ricordia and a softie - I picked up parent colony from a guy tearing down and was told it was a sarcophyton, but everyone who see's the parent colony calls it devel's hand.
All I know for sure is it grows fast in my system and frag's easily. Hope you enjoy!

thats great to hear. everything is running smoothly.
so once the first list is complete (minus me) as I traded once already. the last reciever will then send to the first on the waiting list, instead of me.
Please make sure to contact each reciever to ensure thay are still interested in participating BEFORE sending the thermos.

reefkprZ - can you please bump me down on the list, tank isn't ready for corals seeing as I just discovered Diatoms in my tank. I also wouldn't have anything to trade.
Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience

Everything survived. I was going to ship out today, but I have yet to hear a response from V Martino

I will ship out yours tomorrow if you like, but I was hoping to do both on the same day.
Should I just go on to the next person in line?

My suggestion is to contact ReefkeeperZ and since he started the ball rolling - send to him and let V Martino get in on another round if possible.
PM ReefkeeperZ and get an address for him. Hopefully you can reuse the shipping box I sent you. I don't know how much leakage there was. When shipping US mail priority is the way to go. It is just a little more than standard bulk rate, but way way less than express. Good luck and looking forward to recieving new arrivals. When it comes to corals I am like a kid at Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was with me and I sent to Grabbit & back to Coraljunky - haven't gotten anything back from Grabbit, and don't know if he shipped ahead. It's bad when something fun and that people looked forward to gets dropped like this.
Reefkeeperz had a fantastic idea with this, but not everyone is in the level.
Scopas (Randy) had to restart the game as no one send the actual thermos after him (progress stopped) So he went ahead and sent out again skipping the next person who had held up the shipping. Maybe I should do the same?

if you cant get ahold of the next in line after 1 week skip to the next person. move onto the waiting list skipping me because I traded once already, to give as many people a chance to participate as possible.
