Welp, Reef Cleaners shipped my order today. FL to TX. USPS is estimating end if day Friday delivery. Totally out of Reef Cleaners scope of control.

Now just a wait and see how the snails and crabs arrive.

I didn’t have any issues with Reef Cleaners in terms of livestock arriving, BUT I got aiptasia as a hitchhiker (new sterile tank with this being my first livestock shipment).

By some miracle, only one aiptasia grew and I was able to gently remove the rock and dispose of it. It didn’t spread I believe. But screw that, too many livestock options out there for me to have to deal with introducing aiptasia. Also taught me a lesson to QT all inverts as well. Since then just been ordering off of algaebarn, WWC and TSA (with QT of the latter two). Been perfect since I’ve used those sources.

Well, package is in Houston! But anyone that knows Houston’s USPS, knows that might mean delivery tomorrow, or next month. LOL

My order from Reef Cleaners shipped Monday and just arrived. I didn't have much time to watch how everything was doing after the recommended acclimation, but the vast majority of the order (apx. 120 assorted snails & a couple of Pithos crabs) seemed to have made the trip just fine. I'll take a good look after work and see how many have dispersed from where they were placed.

Good part. It’s rainy and cooler for the next few days. Low 74, High 92
Reef Cleaners ordered arrived. (90G algae crew) Everything was great. Packaged well.

The hermit crabs hit the sand running! All the snails started moving around the tank within 5 minutes of being added to the tank. The Emerald crabs disappeared into the rock immediately.
