How long can an anemone survive in a bag?

[firewill65]

Ordered 3 bubble tips online and unfortunately FEDEX has delayed the delivery. It's going on 2 days of being baged and boxed and who knows the temps they've been exposed to. Is there any chance they can survive or highly unlikely?

Not good at all, hope for the best prepare for otherwise.
Most vendors cover this, still sad to have animal deaths, good luck to you.
IMO their health is compromised just in normal shipping, 2 days...ugh, but hey, I have heard some crazy survival stories on nems.
Let us know what happens.

FEDEX just said now it will be delivered tomorrow, not today. So that makes 3 days. The seller said they will replace but fedex doesn't reimburse them. I hope I get the same darth maul I paid for.

That sucks, check them anyway.
Probably don't want to get even a wiff of that bag just for a heads up.

Well, what happened?

I am interested too.

Day four and still hasn't made it to my area. I'm thinking they lost the box at this point....who knows. All I know is, wherever that box is, if it should spring a leak...it's going to stink!

I had an inferno shipped to me Thursday night for delivery on a Friday and didn't receive it until Monday afternoon in Texas heat and it still survived. The water was nasty and it was in rough shape but actually looked good for 4 days in a small bag with little water. Just took a little bit to recover. So it's possible it'll be fine. This is it now.

this was how it arrived on 4th day

Hard to tell from that pic but I would have expected worse, you never know.
I hope you get real lucky.

 

[firewill65]

Thanks...that's good to know.

Hope for the best. There is hope

Still looks alive to me. Hope you have some Rx and a Ht handy.

firewill65, did the package arrive by now or is it still somewhere in FedEx limbo?

 

[OrionN]

So how is he today?

 

[firewill65]

Received package finally. It was mailed out monday evening and I picked it up Friday afternoon. Not good at all. See pics

It's 95 degrees here in florida...This was to be expected.

 

[davocean]

That's too bad

Man that really sucks, I sure hope they have a suitable replacement for you. Please let us know the outcome of how this is handled.
