first order arrived from phishybusiness....

We had been communication with Phishybusiness and finally placed and order 3 days ago. They arrived this morniing at work. I brought them home....We eagerly opened our soft coral package and were in awe of the colors and health of our new corals. Serdar truly did a superb job ,especially answering so many questions about our tank and its critters. Can't wait to get a bigger tank!
Thanks to the great reviews from reef central, we were able to feel secure with Phishybusiness. We also have had great success with a LFS here in the Daytona area(Florida), Coral Reef Express Aquariums.
So, all in all , we have had great luck between the two.
Thanks Serdar, this was the first time my whole family participated in the acclimation process of my critters!Now my husband is hooked....
By the way, I work at a marina, and the marine patrol/wildlife officier was present when my fed-ex pack arrived labeled "LIVE FISH"....our harbor master called me from outside immediatley stating the wildlife officier was confiscating my coral as it was shipped from out of state with out my having a license... I was speechless and horrified as he was truly serious.....I had no paperwork documenting anything.....
As I ran in to defend myself, well...... 'April Fools" was the answer I received....a very mean joke.
Now,serieously, is there such a law?

Meg,
Thank you for the great review. It is perfectly legal to ship these corals in the United States. They were legally imported so it is no problem. I hope all is well with your new corals.
Thank you for your support!

update....all my corals are thriving and growing quickly. As a newbie to corals, I was worried about my small tank and lighting
until my upgrade. Phishy came through with great suggestions and support. Thankyou, Serdar!
