Purple Haddoni on DD

[m0nkie]

Okay, just so I'm understanding this correctly... they did send you the red one on accident like we thought, but they are letting you keep it, and they are also sending the purple one to you?

WOW. You need to buy a lottery ticket.

fingers crossed! I hope so, I will call them tomorrow in front of 7/11

 

[Dkuhlmann]

Ya, talk about a HUGE WIN! That red one is $800, Talk about customer service letting you keep it in addition to sending you the one you ordered. I never get that lucky

OH and I think you are the one that got the Great Freebie even though the free clownfish was pretty cool.

Their website listed a sebae nem and I wound up with a crispa. Refunded my $ and let me keep the critter. I didn't ask for that. But I was concerned about him making the trip back. I'd get critters from them again in a heartbeat

Isn't Sebae a common non-scientific name for Heteractis Crispa?

Yes for both Crispa and Malu so it makes it very confusing :facepalm:

aww well DD called and looks like I won't be receiving the Haddoni today. They said it was melting and not going to survive the trip. DD will locate another purple and call me.

 

[akida]

So i asked DD why my nem is not purple and much bigger than picture descried.

What a steal man! Are you keeping both or selling the red? If you sell the red, which you got for free, that will cover the purple expenses and probably put some money in your pocket. Let me know if you decide to sell purple, I may be interested . Hot damn!

 

[m0nkie]

Well... LA called me saying they are not shipping it due to poor health. Then i got this shipping confirmation from DD. Very confusing service.

I guess im getting either a dead nem or another purple? Hopefully a green or something show? Lol


Dear QI,
Thank you for choosing Drs. Foster & Smith for your pet's essentials.
Your order (A3092352-1) has left our shipping facility and will be delivered via UPS 1 DAY AIR.

 

[Dkuhlmann]

Can't wait to see what you actually end up with :beer:

 

[m0nkie]

Nothing for now unfortunately. They said the purple haddoni is dead. They will inform me of a replacement as soon as possible

 

[Dkuhlmann]

So what was the deal with the email about your order being shipped? Are they or aren't they shipping you a different anemone?

Now I'm

 

[akida]

I bet you they shipped it to someone else and mixed the orders up. Now they are trying to justify it and say it's "melting" all of a sudden after a month of quarantine? Well that stinks that purple was nice but hey ya got a red!

They said wheneveryou order from DD. LA sends out shipping confirmation. Even tho DD decided not to ship anymore. LAstill sends out an email saying something was shipped. But nothing got shipped.

DD will notify me when another purple get shipped to them

 

[akida]

tell them you no longer have the real estate in your tank since the red is large and to ship the purple to your best pal Akida when it arrives

haha! you have a nem I want, I may have one you want. not a bad trade! I'll let you know when DD contacts me on a new purple. LA said they will hold the next decent purple haddoni for me before putting it on their website

 

[Dkuhlmann]

Any updates? Hows the red doing and any word on getting your purple?

 

[m0nkie]

Red is doing great in the tank. it moved a few inches but stayed put after.

No words on the purple. to me it is the hardest color to find.. DD said they will give me a call whenever a small purple arrives.

 

[davocean]

I had same issue looking for a purple back when, just depends on time of year and availability to collect them from that region.
If price is not a factor, purple is my favorite, however those reds are very expensive and you don't see many reefers keeping one, so great score for you.
Is your tank big enough to have both a red and purple?
That would be so awesome!

 

[m0nkie]

thanks! well I'm not in a rush. I have a red, blue, and green now. The purple can come whenever it comes. I have a 150. It should fit them 4 nicely.

going to take out some of the nicer fish and replace them with cheaper anthias.. lol

 

[davocean]

replace them with cheaper anthias.. lol

Is there such a thing??lol
At least you are being wise about it.
My focus has been so about magnifica's lately I have overlooked hadonni threads, your mix sounds like something I should see.
