Will My Micros SURVIVE????

[RevHtree]

I got 4 frags sent to me yesterday via usps express. The sender checked the signature waive box, but when I came home to get them today there was a note saying they will redeliver tomorrow!! They have a heat pack in there. Is there a possibility they will survive?

There are 4 different micro frags in there...

You can't go to the main warehouse and pick it up? Its always been an option for me.

 

[RevHtree]

Its the post office, and its closed. Its at our local branch locked up tight. Maybe I should break in.......Kidding.

Crap this stinks.

So survival???

Rev:

Call the office in the morning before the trucks leave and see if they can pull them off and you can go by and pick them up ASAP. They're hardy corals, but getting banged around causes more problems than temps, IMO. I assume they're in the heated branch office, of course, and not setting out in a truck somewhere.

You can also go to usps.com with the tracking # and tell them to hold it at the office so you can pick them up tomorrow.

Yah if you can get em 1st thing in the morn i think you will be ok. Let us know how they turn out.

 

[RevHtree]

Thanks for the info. As far as I know it is in the facility.

Hey Viper I looked around at usps.com but couldnt find the option to hold it. Could you link me too it?

Thanks.

 

[RevHtree]

Hey nevermind Viper I just talked to usps and my package is now being held at the PO.

Thanks alot. I will keep you updated.

RevHtree- I just had the same thing happen to me w/micros
they were delivered a day late. Everything was fine alittle stressed, but since than they have started to color up.
I wouldn't worry to much micros are hardy little buggers

I had a miscommunication once and had some spend 72+ hours sitting at FedEx. They were stressed but have since recovered. You should be fine they are one of the hardiest corals out there in terms of shipping.

I had a frag shipped to me and the bag leaked out all the water. There wasn't much water left in the bag, only what was able to stick to the bag. The frag was still damp.

They survived. Hopefully yours will too.

 

[RevHtree]

Ok just picked them up from the post office and they are floating. One of the bags had leaked out some water, and it soaked the heat pack causing the heat pack not to work, and the water to turn black. I can see the polyps though in the bag and they look fine so far.

 

[All Delight]

Good luck

 

[impur]

Good to hear.

 

[racerw]

So how are they

 

[RevHtree]

Well I acclimated them and put them in a dark tank and went off to work. They honestly looked fine.

I'll try and get some pics later.

Hardy little boogers

Ok here are a few pics. They are kinda upset cause I just glued them to new plugs, but I think they should be ok...

Looks good. They will be fine. If mine look stressed I like to feed seems to help
