Good For me... Or not? :( :)

Hey everyone!
I placed an order with a certain online vendor, and the order was for a lionfish, a cowfish, and a wrasse. I got a tracking number by email about 30 minutes ago and so I got online to check my order status. When I checked my order details, I saw this:

I mean... WHAT!???
Long story short, I called them and they said, "Well you were not charged for them, and there must have been a glitch in our system." I now have 4 scallops that I did not order!
What should I do?
Some info: Tank they will probably go in- 150 mixed reef, 210 total system water volume.
I have RG Complete Phytoplankton food for other tubeworms, and lots of live rotifers.
Thanks for the help!

P.S.- Look at the math that was done adding up my total !??!?!!??!?!?!?!!

Sounds like a great excuse to start up a species specific nano tank full of bivalves!

Your success rate of keeping just filter feeders and in particular those scallops (actually clams) I assume would be very high!

I'd just start a nano tank full of fan worms, flame scallops and clams and other filter feeders which are hard to keep in your mixed reef. That would be pretty cool!

Or take the boring route and trade it in for credit at your lfs.

I do have a 5-gallon Fluval Spec V that is up and cycled, they are supposed to come in at 1-4" for the normal and 1.2.5" for the electric. maybe I keep the electric ones? Just looking for suggestions! I personally would like to try them in my display- is that possible? if I spot feed them like I do plus broadcast feed the AG Complete once a day, would that work?

I think 1 in your main tank would be difficult enough, I don' think 4 is feasible.

Give one a try, but all 4 I imagine will foul your water pretty quick!

The particle size of phyto that it actually eats is one of the main issues of what makes it so difficult to sustain.

Just do it ! Stick em in there. They're super fun and not all that hard.
If you have a super duper clean tank yes , might be a problem.

Not much to them really as far as flesh goes. In a big water volume it's nothing.

Is it against the rules to name the vendor? I want to know who to order from to get free stuff (and math like that)
