On the plus side, although the fish they sent me was the wrong one, she is very healthy and ate within an hour of being in the qt tank and eats twice a day plus seaweed on a clip. So the livestock does appear to be quality. Its just a shame she isn't the correct fish. Lol silver linings...
Scribbled rabbitfish?

For the end of the story, you'll have to wait till friday. My new fish will arrive Friday, as will my formal review of my experience on Blue Zoo. That will be posted on this thread, in the Blue Zoo forum and on my build thread that I maintain on another site. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the issues were resolved. My faith was shaken in Blue Zoo for a couple of days, but with today, it has been restored and I would order from them again. So, but that is all you'll know about my review until I recieve my correct fish Friday and hopefully that fish will be as healthy as my incorrect fish lol

You got a fish delivered in these conditions? I want to order but I'm afraid.

Gotcha. Never ordered fish online. But I want to.
Well it is nerve wracking and my goby didn't make it. But i think that was stress because the shrimp was fine and i figured he would be the first to go if it was any environmental factors. But if you're looking for something very specific, then I think its the best way to go.
No my tank is not big enough for two. The other i think is going to a store that maintains large corporate reef aquariums so i hope she will go to someone who appreciates her and has a large system. She is so small i worry about another lfs selling her to someone who only has a 40 gallon or something like that.
Now this is a doliatus! (You may read formal review here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=23420468#post23420468 )

It appears to be a siganus doliatus. Albiet a frightened one. In time you will see more color come out in this fishI have one in my tank. I have had Roger rabbit for 5 years. These fish can turn their yellow and teal stripes on and off. They can turn rust and white spotted when something scares them. They sent you the right fish.

So both types may eat bubble algae? Im asking this because i made a mistake and ordered a virgatus. not a doliatus type because i have a bad bubble algae problem in my grow out tank but if both eat bubble algae i want to get the scribbled type in my DT because im starting to find some there and the scribbled look really great.

I also just ordered a scribbled rabbitfish for BZA it should have been here today but had shipping delays so i wont receive it till tomorrow i called them and asked what the problem was they said it was stuck in one of the shipping terminals and that they prepare for delays and the livestock should be ok for up to 48hrs. "not happy already" and if they send me the wrong fish i will blow my top! In the past i ordered what i thought was a scribbled but turned out i ordered the wrong type virgatus which was my fault but i have him in my 40g growout tank and he does great no more bubble algae at all. I hope i get the correct one and the little guys still alive
