I just wanted to give a heads up if you are looking at LA for livestock. I just receive an order yesterday from them. First I saw that they have seriously downgrade their packaging. Instead of the normal thick walled styrofoam cooler, my order arrived in a insulted foil bag. Everything was ice cold. Mind you, the box fee was still applied and was the same as it has always been.
I unpacked everything and I had 1 bag that was empty, it had water in it, but no coral. Then one of the other bags had 2 corals inside. A trachy and a lobo. The lobo is now slowly dying. It has tissue on it but the mouths are gaping and it looks like its just a matter of time now.
I've been shopping with LA for like 15 years now, including not even 6 months ago and its never been like this. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.
This was pure laziness and cheaping out the customer. I get things are more expensive but I would have rather paid more for the box fee than have a really nice looking lobo slowly dying in my tank.
