Just ordered and received a couple of fish from biota. Couldn't be happier. Perfect health and nice packing.
Thanks.

Lucky, I purchased their 2 yellow tangs from live aquaria, when I received my package yesterday the heat packets were completely discharged and water was cold. One yellow tang didn’t make it. Other looks pretty beat up. It made me very upset because i know how much effort it takes to bread those little guys.

sorry for hijacking your thread but @Biota_Marine is it normal for the juveniles to have such a white face?

The face is the last portion of the fish to get coloration during development but we usually ship them with fully yellow coloration. It could be the stress from the cold shipping since I know when they do get roughed up they can get a bit transparent all around. It should recover and regain full coloration over a week or so. I apologize for the rough transit from LAQ.
