coral shippment ok???..Bad smell

[jeffjcet]

Question?
These are the first zoo's I have. Should the water smelled super bad like rotten Brocolii when I received the coral? I also have lot's of bristtle worm activity on some of the frags. Makes me think I may have had some die off.

I am too new to know it they were ok when I got them. The package seemed ok, but it took almost 2 days from the time shipped to get here.

The zoos have been in my tank for 30 hrs and not opened. Hovever a large button colony seems ok.

They should not smell bad..... just make sure to keep them in some flow...and they may recover...

Also keep them in low light for a while.

Keeping them on sandbed out in open, where flow is best. I don't have intense lighting so they should not be shocked.

Thanks for replys!
Could not find info on what I smelled when I opened bag in threads.
