I Didn't Order the Soup

[BaliReefBox]

Well bought my second piece of coral the other day and the seller assured me it would transit ok! I oredered snails(turbo and nassa) blue legged hermits and a nice torch. The pic is what I ordered and the others are the seafood soup I got delivered.
I want be buying online of Tokopedia again and will only buy local.

I'm not sure I have lodged a complaint with tokopedia and they are pretty good and I had insurance which I am hoping will kick in.

oh well not sure on how this works in Bali.. but I guess the torches are pretty cheap over there?
Cant imagine living in Bali in ordering from there local

There is a user here from indonesia with spectacular Acros.
maybe u can reach out to him for corals?

@lilopop11 was the name..

Ouch, that's a shame.

Coral shipping normally does fine, as long as the coral isn't in transit for more than 2 days and all temperatures are reasonable. Is it especially hot there, or was the shipping too slow?

Lilopop actually live in Bandung where these corals were shipped from...

No its winter here atm and only 28c and no humidity but the packaging was only in bubble wrap and a cardboard box. 11/2 days was just t much for them all.
Luckily they are very cheap here...I am shocked at the real prices you guys are paying, we pay like 10% of what you guys do

May I ask the price for that torch you ordered?
Do I really want to know... hmm

It's 28C in the UK and we've got posters up telling people how to avoid dying in the "heatwave."

A single clownfish isn't going to pair up with a damselfish, and may eventually be bullied to death by the other clowns.

82 degrees F isn't likely to kill anyone, but from what I hear, the UK is about to get very, very hot. Dangerous in a place that's not set up for the heat. Heck, the heat is dangerous here in Texas, and we are set up for it! 100F+ (38C+) with no air conditioning is /bad/.
