| Totally back  | Yea, it';s just the holidays. I don't receive any shipments from the week before christmas to the week after. The reason is I want to avoid any shipment delays from cancelled flights, bad weather etc. It is just a very bad time of year to ship stuff that you need to have acclimating the next day. You will probably see a load of updates around tuesday or thursday of next week.

| RS Sponsor  | Mostly due to holiday season. Fed ex doesn't really guarantee their Priority Overnight shipping times around the holidays and shipping companies in general have trouble keeping up. Also the wholesalers do not ship out anything new during the holidays. Things should resume back to somewhat normal next week as wholesalers get their shipments in this weekend and beyond. Shipping also does slow down for vendors up north because of weather. Like us based in Chicago (where it has been cold) have had orders on hold. We just started shipping out orders again Weds and tonight. We have the ability to ship out during cold weather but really prefer to do it when temp are reasonable (above freezing) and of course there is a logical limit to that. These factors all influence stock updates plus the fact that some vendors just take breaks like reefermadness etc. |

| Plate Coral | I want some of the neat stuff I see at the show tank at the lfs.....they have the most incredible blastos and caulastreas I have ever seen. But of course the increidbly colored ones are in the show tank and are not for the sale. I know some places have these items but the ones that have awesome colors are always sold out before I even have a chance to look at them. |
