Good service from Dr Reef. I am on my 3rd order. I still start them in QT tank for observation and ease of feeding for 2-3 weeks, then transfer to acclimation box for 2-3 days before releasing to main DT.

1st order - Black Ice Clownfish bonded pair
Very healthy fish - no issues at all. Both look great. Lady Ice is a bit bossy though.

2nd Order - Royal Gramma, One Spot Foxface, Midas Blenny, Yellow Watchman Goby & Pistol, Firefish Exquisite, Small CUC pack.

Midas Blenny looked fine upon arrival and was eating vociferously, and then suddenly died on day 5. Upon more research, I have found that this can happen with this species. Probably just unlucky this time. Will try again in a few months.

Foxface was very thin when received (granted, I asked for small) I thought I was going to lose her, but after discussing with Dr Reef and additional help from R2R, I was able to get her eating better and now she is a pig!!!

Just released all from acclimation box yesterday. All fish look great and eating well!!

Thanks Dr Reef for fielding my questions and delivering me some very nice fish!

3rd order arrived nice and healthy as well. Thanks!!

1 Tuxedo Urchin - Took off immediately and has been all over the tank. I was worried as I have read lots of acclimation issues on the boards for Tuxedo Urchins.
1 Tiger Conch - All over the sand bed.
1 Pistol Shrimp - Nice size. Still looking for him. Hope he pairs up with my Yellow Watchman.
5 Mexican Turbos - Nice large size. Thanks for the extras!!!

Thank you again for your support. Glad you like the livestock we sent you. Hopefully the pistol shrimp will pair up soon and if for any reason you don't see him in a week or so let us know we will cover you.
