Once again....

[SDguy]

...great job on the order. Another group order I organized.

The hoek is crazy beautiful (in interceptor right now).

The pair of golden coral banded shrimp are clearly a pair, though they were a bit teeny tinier than I was expecting. I guess 1" really isn't that big in shrimp terms

The loisetta one of the guys got is HUGE and beautiful!

The aussie delicate and digi show a little breakage. Have you guys considered shipping those attached to styro maybe, so they float? Not sure if that would help.

And the anthias another guy got had really nice color, and can't beat the sale price!

Thanks again!

No worries With the aussie delicate, I don't see how you could ship it without some breakage. Those are some of the thinnest branches I have ever seen on an acro. The digi just separated from the frag plug, so no big woop.

How cryptic are the golden coral banded shrimp? I have not seen them since I put them in the tank. I don't have a lot of hiding space...my rock structure is all pillars. Even with a flashlight after lights out....I have managed to find every single tentacle of every single spaghetti worm in my tank, but no golden coral banded shrimp antennae...

SDguy,

The Coral Banded Shrimp are nocturnal and prefer the protection of an overhang or cave in the rock during the day. You may be able to catch a glimpse of the shrimp at night by feeding meaty foods after the lights are off for the night. We recommend using either lunar lights or a red film over the flashlight to keep from frightening the nocturnal specimens in the aquarium during nighttime viewing.

SDguy, try throwing some pellets or food in too, mine was very shy originally, always hiding upside down in a cave but now comes out for food.

I actually finally saw them late last night

Now that I know where they are, I'll target feed, to grow them a little bigger!
