Well, I found a local woman who has started her own business. We've been friends for a bit and members of the Austin Reef Club. Many other have ordered from her over the last 6 months.
She makes an order once a week (maybe every other week) and then we can pick up our fish when she picks them up from the airport or after a few days in her hospital tanks.
So we order a pair of clowns and a 6-line wrasse. Her supplier didn't have any of the gobies we wanted.
So we get a message this morning, the fish will be in at 10A. Then, about 9A, we get a message, they missed the plane at LAX and will be in at 6P.
Turns out the fish (and other stuff, it was over a thousand dollar order) WERE LEFT ON THE SHIPPING DOCK (OUTSIDE) OVER NIGHT BY THE SHIPPER!!
This nice woman had ordered herself a $200 clam and had at least one hippo tang in the order.
She was very, very hot.
I'll post more when we find out if the fish are OK and even salvageable. I don't what the temp was in LA last night, but it's still not good.
