Please give me your advice on my dilemma. I am moving from Monterey, CA to Jacksonville, Fl in December and I trying to decide on selling or shipping my aquarium inhabitants. I have a friend in Jax that can hold them for me until I have a tank ready.
Included:
1. Frog Spawn (show piece) 25+ heads bigger than a volleyball _ extracted and softball sized retracted.
2. 6-8 inches of green star polyps on 5 lb live rock
3. Colony of Zooanthids (4-5 inches)
4. Purple Mushroom rock (4-5 inches)
5. 2 scarlet cleaner shrimp
6. 1 peppermint shrimp
7. 1 Tomato Clown
8. 1 Purple dottyback
Should I take the chance in shipping these animals or should I try to sell them? I have some bags and a Styrofoam chest from the lfs. Of course, I was planning on overnight shipping. What I want to ensure is the best treatment for the animals. I know their is no guarantee with shipping but their is also no guarantee that they will live if I take them to lfs or sell them to anybody.
