Sure you trust her but should I trust her? I might need to interrogate her

Chris,
Thanks for handling the order. Everything looks great. My freebie turned white instantly when in the tank, but hopefully it colors back up by morning. Too early for bleach out, so I'm guessing just adjustment.

Everything went smooth and I liked the urine cups. Nice touch.

Yeah, my martian moon frag is not looking good at all and my serpent eye favia is not doing well and I don't know if it's going to make it. The free sps frag is completely toast with all tissue died off.

Ouch! Sounds like things got too cold. It was very cold last night. If they sat outside at all it would have been too cold.

Is anyone having any luck with them?

The favia that ended up in my tank looks fine but the sps freebies are goners. Otherwise zoas look fine.

they didn't set outside after shipment. they came in as soon as the fedex guy came to the door, wife said the containers were really cold, she put them by a heater vent to try and keep them warm sine they had writing on the cups she couldnt float them in my sump, was worried the ink would come off and hurt the tank. came in 2 boxes with what i can see 3 heat pads, unless austin got one in the box he went home with. but the temps got down in the negatives over night that night, and fedex barely made their gaurantee delivery by noon. actually wife said the news already started by the time they got there. oh and yeah the zoa's are fine. i have taken pictures too.

when i opened the cup to my blue tipped efflo, it stank really really bad

Yeah, the cold defintely was not good for them. The back of the fedex truck probably wasnt heated. I really hope that my big serpent eye favia pulls through but this morning it looked horrible.

Yep, my blue digi is a very all white digi this morning. Goner. Zoas look to be ok so far. I noticed last night that the water in the cups was chilly, and I was home from Menards pretty quick (5 minutes from there).
Stinks cause I was looking forward to seeing that digi do some growing. Sorry about some of the stuff you guys got and paid for that looks bad. Hopefully it pulls through.

The water was really cold. I drip acclimated for over 2 hours and my sps isnt looking good only one piece is still alive the rest was pretty much bleached from the git go. My favia, duncan, and setosa are looking ok and im sure the zoas will be fine.
