That would be a mighty expensive overnight shippment. :-/

 

I live in the uk, so it woulnt be that bad, but its collection only - and i couldnt be bothered to drive to london (im in the north) also unsure wether its reef safe

 

Oh, didn't know your were from the other side of the pond! ;D

 

Yep, and as a result I have to pay more for the fish - when i see how much you guys all pay for yours compared to the prices I have to adhere to - I just cry!

 

Phoenix, I didn't know you were from the UK either!

I believe the seller specifies he's RATHER have it collected, but would mail it at your own risk. Infact, a prospective buyer asked about heat packs for delivery and the seller replies that he'd send it with a 12 hour heat pack.

Funny as it sounds, a worm might be the ideal candidate for shipment, as its soft parts would likely be retracted for much of the trip. On the other hand, if the tube is hard, rather than leathery, it's at risk of breakage.

I don't know. I'd want that worm too!!

Good luck whatever you choose to do.

 

Indeed I am, I live in manchester in thenorth were it rains 360 days of the year!!

I am very tempted to buy this but i cant work it wether it is a worm of a starfish?? tried googling it and nothing came up!

Any ideas?!

 

I've been googling since my post, and it seems it is a type of starfish rather than worm. I found a drawing in which the fastening apparatus of an echinoderm are visible. So it seems there's no tube into which this animal can retract. However, if it's more like a starfish than a worm, maybe it's less fragile?

The seller states he's selling it for a friend, so it may or may not be worthwhile asking that source.

 

Aye! Im gonna ask the question, also if its reef safe as google is coming up with nadder!

 

Found this, as much as i want it - i dont think its a good idea. I might ask my lfs if he can order me one
