He was well packed with warming chems so no issue there.
He is now in my QT. Im slowly raising the SG. He has a case of HLLE. A least thats what I think it is. His face is white and one side has streaks. His fins where a little tattered also. He may have ick also as there are a few other white spots on him not close to the HLLE marks. He is eating nori. I havent medicated with anything yet, as he looks very weak.
I cant say it was a bad deal. He may come back, but so far its a rough go. If I had it to do again I would pay 180+0ship instead of 50+50ship and go with liveaquaria. i have had good luck with them.
The best pic i have currently.

Where did the shipment come from, Yonkers or the west coast?
