they ended up in the mail for 6 days. they are fire and ice zoos, and creamsicle zoos. will they make it? I know 3 day shipping is alright, but 6 days might be too long.
Zoanthids shipping delayed....

Do you have them now? How do they look? I would float to get temp. same and then add 1/4 cup of tank water every 10-15 min. and then put them in. Dod they or did they smell really bad? If they are in fact ded your inverts will be on them like crazy!

yep, got them yesterday, did the usual acclimation, and added them to the tank. just not sure if they are alive right now.

i can second that. i once was fraging some zoas and forgot some on the counter
OVER NIGHT!! there was a very small amount of water on the plate i was using and i still have them today. there was only enough water to keep the part of the zoo that was touching the plate wet. i thought for sure they would be dead

zoas will just for of disintegrate . but before that they will be over come by algeas many times and shival up to nothing. most zoa deaths are due to fungus infections

OMG, This happened to me too! 2 day priority mail -- took 5 or 6 days!!! got 6 frags, 1 made it, 1 sorta making it and 2 with full polyp, no wrinkles still crossing my fingers. 2 died - shriveled, but not horendous ordor. (they are still sitting in tank in hopes of one day it will perk up.
What helped was moving them up closer to the light. the 1 sorta -- its struggling, but slowly opening.
