KevinB Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Uh oh! I just realized I had ordered two decorator crabs. Did anyone end up with one by mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuentes31 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Not sure if my urchin made it. His spines are down and he hasn't moved. Is this normal? Or is he a goner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Wishing I would have gotten in on this GB. I'll for sure get in on the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuentes31 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey dshel1217 my urchin didn't make it. I e-mailed John about it but i think he just wanted to refund my money. Maybe with some of your animals dead we can get him to ship us new livestock. I really had my heart set on getting a new urchin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Reefer Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 OK so my Scarlet Hermit Crab arrived dead (out of shell). Also a small percentage of snails (10%) are still laying about not moving, but I'm not ready to call them dead yet. Not bad considering the number of things i bought that did arrive ok. Overall, Im very satisfied with the order. On the plus side, it turns out they were not too many snails after all. On the down side, everything was considerably smaller than ii thought it would be. Hopefully, everything will grow up and it will all work out perfectly. Those decorator crabs sound cool. if we get a followup order, I woud like my scarlet hermit replaced and i would like to add a decorator crab. Thanks again for putting this together. -Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshel1217 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ya he said he was going to refund money for the DOA but I would be down to having replacements shipped to one house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapsAzN Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I guess I got lucky, although I'm sure the cold weather shift didn't do us any favors. I was a bit worried about the emerald crabs and my popped bag of trochus snails, but I think everything looks ok today. I'm sure most are aware of this, but be sure to follow the acclimation procedures outlined on there website. I've never ordered livestock online before so their recommendation of only using temperature acclimation and discarding shipping water was new to me. I'm sure any Doa issues were probably caused by the chill on the shipping day, but I figured I'd point out their acclimation recommendations as well, in case someone overlooked. I'm glad to know they had no problems refunding some of the species listed as more sensitive and only recommended shipping to next day express locations. Sorry for your losses and best of luck next time! -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michae52 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 No complaints here as well. I guess I was lucky as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
