Wow, I bet you are an insane photoshopper! People dont know how much time and work it takes just to learn how to use the program, let alone the time it takes to make a creation. It really is depressing.

So I had ordered a pair of randall's shrimp gobies, and Live Aquaria called me the night before they were supposed to arrive to tell me they had died. Big disapointment.

The following morning I was leaving for the keys I had previously been waiting for the gobies, but I was leaving earlier now that they were dead... Well knock knock and a box arrives from Live Aquaria.

Quite confused I accept the box, afraid to find 2 couple day dead fish in it. Ew... Well I opened it anyway and I found this coral in there... Exciting stuff...

I called Live Aquaria and they have no record of it being shipped to me so they were not able to tell me what it was that I received.
