    I am excited about their arrival, I had a slight ammonia issue that I discovered after I made the order and they sure don't like to cancel. My water has improved, but I am still detecting a slight level well below .025ppm, the lowest level the API test detect. Hopefully it will be under control by Tuesday, these are my new comers.

    RJ I just bought the same orange one as you.. You will get yours before I do because I just ordered mine on Friday so they haven't shipped yet. Post pics of them when you get em. I'm anxious to see how they look

    My new pretties are on their way, I am keeping my fingers crossed, its my understanding the purple soft coral is not a good shipper and pretty much new to the reef trade.

    RJ it looks like we will get them at the same time. I just got notified my order was shipped. I hope your purple soft makes it ok. I had a purpletip frogspawn that didn't ship well either, lots of slime and now it doesn't look like it will make it.:(

    Thanks nept2n, looks like yours has a little further of a road trip than mine ;) mine has about an 8 hour drive. My last order I had a poor shipper and what I opened up was a bag of the worst smelling brown water goo mess you ever seen, it been in that bag less than 24 hours, but you would have sworn it been in there for weeks. I really hope he gets here OK, I really like that Coral.

    Yeah what a bumper that mine will be shipping such a long distance. :( I hope everything turns out fine. Glad to hear that yours is only 8 hours out. ;D

    I definitely post pics up so that you can see. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

OHHH! I THINK I HEAR A TRUCK, never mind! its only the garbage truck, hahaha!
