Okay now it’s time for the real update (sorry, can only attach 10 pics so I had to make another post). As some of you may know, World Wide Corals did a contest on Reef 2 Reef recently for the cheesiest slogan. Through hard work, persistence, and determination, I managed to win twice. The winners got free frags from WWC if they paid for shipping. So I searched their website for weeks, eventually finding a sexy shrimp in the invert section that didn’t make my wallet cry.
I decided to order the sexy shrimp and pay for overnight shipping, and WWC included my free frags in the box with my new shrimp. This morning the mailman rang the door and I probably scared the crap outta him I opened the door so fast. Every reefer dreams of opening the blue box...
Giddy with excitement, I rushed to my room and gently plopped the box on my bed, desperately searching for scissors. After slicing carefully through layers and layers of tape, insulation, styrofoam coolers, and cardboard, I reached crisp, white, printer paper. Scrawled on were the names of my free mystery frags!! I got a pipe organ and Agent Orange Enchinata!!
I started temp acclimating immediately after making sure my new babies were okay. Scared me to death when I couldn’t find the sexy shrimp! Turns out, he’s just tiny so I decided to name him Speck.
While they were temp acclimating I decided to research a little bit about my new corals and found these gorgeous photos from WWC of what they’re gonna look like after they get happy!
Finished temp acclimation and put Specky into a pitcher for drip acclimation. I threw the corals in right away and they got happy real quick!
After a long acclimation process, Specky was finally ready for his new home! He’s so tiny, here’s him next to some acans. Can’t wait till Specky Meet’s by other sexy shrimp, Heather.
So that’s the whole story!! Thanks for reading!
