Has anyone received a response from Ryan? It would be nice just to get a weekly update on whats going on.

I agree.. an update would be nice... Im ok on waiting as long as something is being done about it and not just a beer fund for someone..
Sorry for the delayed update. It's been tough finding out exactly what's going on with the order. A shipment might be arriving this evening. As far as which fish and the quantities I don't know. If I receive shipment tonight, I'd like to be able to get fish exchanged soon after as to not add any stress to the fish from being added to my system and then to their new homes. They'd be coming in around 8:30 but not available for pick up until around 9:30. I'm hoping to meet people locally around this time.
I'm very sorry about not only the short notice but not being able to know for sure what will be coming in if any... This is how I've been getting the information or actually have not been getting information. I'm waiting for confirmation as I type this.
For the people located in the Bay Area, if needed I can meet you somewhere in the middle. If it's not possible, I'll make the longer trip to meet somewhere closer to you.
There should be a couple harems of Flames and a couple pairs of Mysteries... I'm pretty sure there won't be Scarface Blennies. For those of you waiting for the Flames or Mysteries, please PM me with your phone number so that I can be call you if it's possible to meet with you tonight. If not, please PM me anyway to let me know how you'd like to arrange exchange. I'm sure they'll be fine if added to my system. I've got a 20g QT, 30g QT, and room in a sump to add them to if needed.

I have an update on my flame wrasse harem. I was looking around on liveaquaria and saw some pics of flame wrasses that they were selling on the divers den.
They had one picture labled as 'sub dominant' male. The only difference I can see between the female and the sub dominant male is that the sub-male has slightly lighter coloration and some 'speckles' on his back.
Anyway, one of my flame wrasses looks like this! So, I think my 'harem' actually consists of 1 super male, 2 females, and 1 sub-male. The sub-male definitely seems like the weakest in the group. He's active, and eats at feeding time, but he's smaller and skinnier than the rest. I also see him getting chased by females occasionally. It only lasts a second though. The super male ignores him.
Here are the links:
Cirrhilabrus jordani female [liveaquaria.com]
Cirrhilabrus jordani sub dominant male [liveaquaria.com]
Cirrhilabrus jordani super male [marinecenter.com]
I'm farily new to reefkeeping, and very new to marine fishes, so I don't know the significance of any of this. But I thought it was interesting nonetheless
All my wrasses are still happy and eating like pigs (I feed them Rod Food twice a day). They leave my corals alone and are peaceful towards my other fish (shrimp goby & spotted dragonet). Model citizens! I can't wait to hear others experiences with these guys. If mine are indicative of the species as a whole, they will be a great addition to anyones tank.

loup,
So i take it some other guy has contacted you about an order placed?... I take we Should hopefully be getting contacted by some other guy other than Ryan, in the hopes we get our order done by them. Just feels like the rest of us are getting shut out since we have no idea whats going on for the most part. I'm not pointing fingers...but i just hope we all get what we paid for in the end.

Yeah bummer and i'm #5 for the mystery wrasse pair.
To the people who have received their fish...
Please post that you received them in this thread so that I can verify you've received them. 3 harems of Flame Wrasses and 3 pairs of Mystery Wrasses are owed to this order for funds that have already been given for them.
Thank you and I apologize for this situation.
Lineaspoke, you would be #4 as I will no longer be receiving fish from this order.
