:oo: Weird.
My order came with 8 hermits, 2 were doa and out of the shell.
2 were average small size, 2 were more like micro snails.
Didn't order any turbos.
So, meet Bob...
Tank also contains an emerald crab (Bob), 6 ceriths (Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, and Bob), 2 Astrinas (Bob and Bob), 2 cortez hermits (Bob and Bob), 1 pom-pom crab with his anems (Bob, Bob, and Bob), and a cleaner shrimp on order (pre-Bob).
May bring in a second clown, just...
So, some orders in the past have been bad, but I've heard there's improvement and placed an order.
Tank is a 30g, ordered the '33g package with hermits'.
30 Dwarf ceriths - were tiny as expected, but very tiny
11 Nassarius - 2 dead, very small
10 Fla ceriths - looks like 8-9 alive, max length...
Clearing out/upgrading and these came from a surround theater system. There is no center speaker.
Note they can be used for anything else, such as a turntable.

So, FloridaPets reshipped the pods this week to replace the ones that froze in transit.
They packed the small bag with a massive heat pack.
Bag came out of shipping box at 100+ degrees.
I've gone from frozen and dead to boiled and dead.
Waiting on their response.
Standard type. Purple with yellow head.
No worries, no coral nibbling, had him about 1 1/2 - 2 years.
Breaking down a tank and cant move him to the other one.

If you dont have one, get one.
Ran a check on my Cobalt. It had failed to max setting at some point over the past year. Controller had been keeping the tank at a steady 79.
Thanks. Was interesting and fun putting it together as was so out of the ordinary, as I’m sure you know. Here’s the other side…
Your’s looks fantastic as well. Love this creative sculpture thing as opposed to previously just stacking rocks.
Get a thin liquid cyanoacrylic superglue from Amazon (stuff is like water).
Break up some rock into fine/superfine sand/dust with a hammer.
Place scaping rocks where you want em, find a gap, fill with a bit of the fine/dust rock.
Squeeze a bit of the liquid superglue on it.
It’ll steam, stink...
Looks good. Have similar but I added small flat ‘platforms’ throughout mine. That way I can mount SPS easily in their own little areas, and if I ever have to pull them in a few cases I can just break off the platform. Might be a consideration.
Turned my whites up and blues down for a pic…
Well, talked to Floridapets. It's an isopod.
Never saw one this big (but, then again the amphipods were quite large).
I put it in the tank by picking it up between my thumb and fore finger while it was wriggling.
Also, Floridapets is very communicative and friendly, and are shipping out a new...
I've had a coral banded with a fire with no concerns.
Odd that you keep losing them. I've had one in a 30g for about 2 years at this point.
They're pretty straightforward, just give them the required peanut butter sandwich once a week and they last ages.
Ordered a small order of pods through e-bay from 'floridapets'.
Packed well (paper over the plastic, thermal bag, styrofoam lining, outer box).
With the cold, delayed delivery, and, unfortunately, no heat pack in the packaging, things didn't fare well.
Floated the pack for 2 hours and I did see...
