Hmm, just trying to get an idea of what to expect when I get home haha.

I had zoos shipped to me , that have been stuck at the depot since the 6th. They are packed professionally and there has been no leaks (someone picked the order up for me and dropped it off home)

Do you think the zoos are done for? He said there was a bad smell, but that's not to say they are dead. He couldn't get a peek at the zoos over the phone so I am just waiting to see...

Depends on how warm, cold, and how many times the shipper drop kicked the box... Honestly even when we get our shipments at work and they are only overnighted, we can have bad die offs. I would just take it as it comes and not throw ANYTHING away no matter how bad the smell. I opened up some zoos one time(big colony rock) that rivaled dead anenome smell and amazingly enough 1/4 of the polyps still survived!

Interesting, thanks for the post.

Seeing as they were in the depot I'd say they have been in room temperatures....

It wasn't shipped far either...

Hmm.. I hate the waiting game. :(
