Big loss

I ordered Cleaning Crew for my 125 reef tank. I hate that weather here. It was 63 degrees on Tuesday. Today < thursday> is only 5. My shipment came, ALL DEAD!!!! I ordered 60 snails, 5 Limpets, 10 Scarlett Crabs. All Scarlett dead, 3 Limpets, 50 snails. I feel terrible. When I touched bags with water there were ice called!!! I ordered also 5 Mangrows for my fuge. Never had them before. They were shipped without water. My question is do you think they made it ok? Are they alive? Have no idea. I don't want poison my tank. If you say they are fine, then how should i set them? Stick into the sand in my fuge? I can put them in my display too, right? Here are the picks, thanks.

 

Sorry on the loss of your critters. Mangroves should go in your sump. The growth tips should be out of the water. Use eggcrate to keep the tips above water.

 

Do they look ok?

 

They don't appear to be bad off. Definitely keep an eye on them though.

 

Thanks, I will. What should I look exactly at? Color?

 

Color and to see if they are softening.
