Nebula has arrived!
I refrained from starting this journal until I actually got her across the border into Canada and she made it through her first 24 hours. She (or he?) was shipped out from KP Aquatics in the Florida Keys on Wednesday (Oct. 28) afternoon and I picked her up at the FedEx facility in Buffalo, NY at 9am on Thursday. We made it across the border relatively easily. Had to stop at US customs and fill out a form to declare the export and then again at Canadian customs to declare the import. Took about an hour at the border in total and then we made the rest of the 2 hour drive home.
Dripped her for a little over 1.5 hours then transferred her into new 100 gallon home. Surprisingly, she actually spent most of the rest of the day out where I could see her even though the tank has over 100 lbs of live rock for her to hide in. I tried feeding her a thawed bay scallop that evening but it was a no go and I took it out.
Came home from work at 6pm and she was right out at the front of the tank. Just now I gave her one of the two live emerald crabs that were sent with her from KP and she took it immediately. What a relief!!
Haven't been able to get any good pictures of her yet so I'll just attach a pre-shipment photo.
