The carbon pellet in the bag was not the odd thing for me it's the fact the crazy coral seemed to be attempting to eat it.. Hard to imagine it worked its way in there in transport but who knows. I somewhat agree with Greg and Martin about heat pack placement but unless they are water proofed when on the bottom they would be useless in no time as not many shipments arrive completely dry. With a small confined space they still should provide enough heat when taped on the lid.

And Greg is right communication with the guys at Blue World was very good
