Oh FEDEX, why have you forsaken me? Blue Zoo Aquatics said 1030. Your computer said you left at 0930. It is now almost 2pm and here I wait. Are you cheating on me and watching my beautiful fish through your X-ray machine? Please, I beg of you, bring my babies to me! I've been sitting in my garage since around 10am to ensure you don't sneak the package into my garage and not tell me. Please, FedEx, bring my babies to their new home!

Ps: mostly sarcasm. Just wish it would get here. The sneaking part, though, that has happened.
 
Haha I know the feeling! Waiting for corals makes me feel like a dad waiting for their baby to be brought out to them or something! Also so what fish did you order?
 
What did you get?
 
I got a whip fin fairy wrasse, a mccoskers flasher, a melanurus, and a filamented flasher. And a porcelain anemone crab.
The filamented didn't make it though. The others are doing great. The melanurus started eating quickly after entering the tank. By the night time feeding all three were eating just fine. I tried taking some pics but it didn't work out too well.
I was amazed to find the crab again today. He's tiny. I figured I would never see him again.
