Thanks for the heads up, I've been looking for a GBTA that looks like that for quite a while.

You bet. Now I've just got to coax my RBTA's to move next to each other again so I can add the GBTA to the mix and have a big pile of colorful 'nems.
Mine should show up on Tuesday... I'm pretty stoked about it, too as nice greens are really tough to find. I just wish my roses looked as good as your new one seems to.

This nem is in CRITICAL condition. Just got it. wasent in a box but 17 hours total. 2 heat packs.
Temp when opened bag--- 56.0 F
still attached to a tiny piece of ruble, but the rest of the rock is on the otherside of the bag. (tossed so much the rock broke?)
VERY shrunk, open mouth, but just a little bit, no guts
After 5 minutes of soaking bag in water, temp jumped ten degres. (to fast?)
I upgraded my shipping the extra ten dollars.. If whoever ordered that green nem.. call them and get the BEST BEST shipping you can!!!!! Its expensive. but this is very cold.
No damage to the nem that i can see, although its super tiny right now.
Ill have pics later today. kinda busy (huhu)

only been aclimating 30 minutes. going to take it real real slow. but i have lots of pics of the temp with the sencor in the bag and the nem.
I cant get a clear pic for NOTHING!! and now that i have it under my 250 watt (bag in tank, just started transfering water, 1 ounce every few minutes)
THIS THING LOOKS LIKE A RAINBOW!!! foot is PINK (!!) disk, neon green, hot red tenicles, diff tips.
Mouth closed a lil more, and 1 tenicle inflated
I have a bunch of pics, They all suck. Ill upload the best bad pic in a minute.

My good friend brought her 12g tank and her clowns back to school, and somehow during the 3 hour drive in her heated car the water temp dropped below 50. Both clowns are fine.
I guess the freezing temperatures are one of the risks you get when you order something from northern wisconsin in January...I hope it turns out to be okay!!

ok mouth is improving by the second. and the pics arent as bad as i thought lol
ill post some more after it inflates.
all tips have a bit of water in them now. yay. I think my 45 minutes of panic has stopped 
Oh here was what I wrote down
salinity - 1.025 in bag
temp at 11am (pick up) 56.2 F
11:05- 66.5
11:16- 71.9
11:24- 73.3
11: 50 - 81.2 (same as my tank)
any advice? think it'll be ok if the foot looks good.. its still inflating, foot just got plump

I think you're probably at the point of getting it into your rockwork so it can go hide for a couple days... anything else you do would probably cause more harm than good.

Well, after fully acclimated of course. Work blocks your pics so I have no idea what stage your acclimation is at.
