This is what I’ll be working on. I got this recipe from a friend in Miami. We graduated a socialist communist high school in Cuba in 2014

didn't want to wait till @Nor'easter Reefer got back with the lobsters?
 
That reminds me of a story that happened to my wife. As a nurse she was driving to the hospital early in the morning and was behind an ambulance. The back door was flapping open and shut. When it hit a pot hole a cooler fell out and it was all she could do to stop and not run over it. She pulled over and opened it and on ice was a toe!
Did she call Toe truck? Never mind I see she did. Another dad joke.
 
Decided to rush home and get the fish acclimated and in the tank. I left the corals in their bags floating in the sump since I didn't have time to dip them. The chocolate tang was already picking at the rocks a little the magnificent fox face was hiding mostly as was the royal Gamma. Hopefully they will all be out tonight and I can get pictures.

Glad to hear they arrived healthy! The gramma might take up to a week to be comfortable enough to be out and about all the time so expect that and it’s normal for them.

Thank you for the heads up I would have been worried.
 
I still don't know what coral this is, I have a bigger one, this was a piece that broke off and I put it there and it's already growing upwards.
