Anyone need snails or hermits?

I would like to order the "Total Reef Care Special",

120 Turbo Snail [astrae], - 120 Sm Blueleg Hermit with 48 colorful transition shells added at no charge, - 120 Nassarius Snail, - and 6 Emerald Crabs. Free Shipping & Box. You may purchase additional items along with this special and get free shipping & box for those items as well. Only $129.00

But I don't need that many critters. Would anyone be interested in sharing the order? Could split it up 2, 3, 4 (or more) ways.

Ed

[RedDragon]

I'll take 20 turbo snail and are any of the hermit crabs reef safe if they are I'll take 20 hermits

[Tim Marvin]

I'll take what you don't need ED.

[Tim Marvin]

Just want you guys to be able to do your orders. I certainly have plenty of room for them and can move them eventually.

[MikeP]

I'd kick in some cash towards it for some nassarius and maybe a few small emeralds if there are any - mine have gotten way too big.

[Tim Marvin]

I'll take your emeralds if you are looking to get rid of them.

[Brett Wilson]

ed, i'll take 40 or so Nassarius snails.

Let me know how much you figure them to be.
Thanks
-Brett

[MikeP]

just looked at their site. They have some nice locally collected Fla stuff like Florida Orange Ricordea also. 35 bucks for a cuban hogfish is good too but I'd rather buy one local.

[Ed]

Great! I'll keep this open until Monday night and probably place the order Tuesday.

RedDragon - Yes, the blue leg hermits are reef safe. (20 Turbos and 20 Blue legs)

Tim Marvin - Thanks! Let me know if you want to add anything to the order.

Mike (technoshaman) - Got you down for some Nassarius and (3) Emeralds. If you need more Emeralds, we can add to the order.

TurboBrett - Got you down for 40 Nassarius.

[Jeff Post]

I will take some of the Nassarius snails. 20 to 40 of them depending on availability.

[RedDragon]

1 lettuce nudibranch
1 flower anemone
1 pypmy angel
1 flame scallop
1 sea cucumber

Thanks,
Jaime :-D

[RedDragon]

can I add a

thanks,
Jaime :-D

[Jeff Post]

Can you get me a fighting conch?

[z28pwr]

Ed, could we get this package aswell ?

The Reeftopia Special...Times---2
240 Turbo Snail [astrae] and 240 Small Blueleg Hermit. 48 colorful transition shells added at no charge. Free Shipping & Box.You may purchase additional items along with this special and get free shipping & box for those items as well.


Price: $149.00

I will take 120 snails from the order and 120 of the blueleg hermits. Can we get peopel to take the rest of this order ? By putting both orders we would get an extra 10% discount aswell as free shipping.

But I would need you to hold the order till wednesday or thursday since I haven't finished transferring all my stuff over.

[Ed]

Jeff - I don't see the fighting conch listed. Where did you see it on the website?

Z28pwr - That is a good deal. I'll look at it tomorrow night and see which 'package' is best for what everyone wants.

RedDragon - Are you sure you want to introduce all of that at one time? Don't want to overwhelm your system.

[Tim Marvin]

I'll take one of the reeftopia X 2 specials also. Actually, I'll do the split with Z-28.

[MikeP]

Ed - appreciate you letting us in on this. Let me know how you want money I can bring you cash, paypal whatver you prefer.

RedDragon - Read up on the flame scallop they are doomed to die in 99% of tanks. I owuld personally hold off on the pygmy angel and ball sponge too for various reasons - you can PM if you want to know specifics but I would scale back on adding so much at one time. I know it's tempting but you may want to do some research on each species they are selling.

[Jeff Post]

I did not see it. I was unaware of the company you were ordering from until recent posts.

[TexasState]

The lettuce nudibranch is usually doomed to die when there is not enough food for them to eat(bryopsis, hair algae.)

I've been wanting the Orange Ricordea from them, but they were never in stock whenever I ask them for it.

IMHO, their hermit crab might be a few millimeters big. The hermit crab might be smaller then the nassarius. When the hermit out-grow their shell, they're going to kill the nassarius. Don't expect the hermit to necessarily be the same size hermit you see at the LFS. In my last order with them about a year ago, I can hold several hundred micro hermit crab inside a shot glass with room to spare.

Just letting you guys know b4 hand so you won't be disappointed afterward. The tiny hermit is still a good deal, and they're very active little guy.

Don't forget to buy the Nerite and Cerith Snails.

[Ed]

Hi Vinh,

Thanks for the heads up on the hermits. ;)

FWIW they are supposed to be the 'small' hermits not the 'micro'. Hopefully, they will at least be as big as the Nassarius.

Cerith snails are listed at $1.00 each and Nerites at $10/dozen.

Be glad to add them to the order.

[swedige]

I could go for 20 astrea snails and 20 blue legs

[z28pwr]

Ed, I'm going to have to wait on the Hermit Crabs sice I don't have a place to put them, but I will take the 120 snails.

Let me know and I can paypal or give you the money.

[RedDragon]

well I was planing on adding half and half into two tanks is that it too much of an over load, I guess I wont take the flame scallop,
I still want the flower anemone, and the 20 snails and hermit crabs
and maybe the pypmy angel not shore

[Ed]

OK. Totals as of Tuesday Night. Please PM me if they are incorrect. Plan to order Weds. for Thurs. arrival

RedDragon - 20 turbo astreas, 20 blue leg hermits, 1 Flower anemone, 2 Emerald crabs, 1 Tiger Goby

Tim Marvin - 1/2 the Reeftopia Special Times 2 + "surplus"

[THESILLYBIRDIE]

[swedige]

Anyone from San Antonio planning to pick up their stuff before the order? Hoping that someone is willing to bring my order back for me.

Sean

I'm not planning on picking it up before the order but I am planning to pick it up after the order comes in :-D .

I could pick up your stuff but I won't be back in town till around 9-10 PM.

[swedige]

Apparently, after midnight my ability to compose an understandable sentence goes to hell. :D

It would be great if I could meet up with you late Thursday, if it's not too much trouble. I'll PM you on it.

[Ed]

Order has been placed. Will PM when it arrives.

Ed

[Ed]

The order just arrived (10:45am)

[RedDragon]

wow now thats what I call fast! I bet they woke you up :-D

[Brett Wilson]

A+

Most if not all of the 40 snails I ordered got up and walked away from where I dropped them into my tank.
Very nice, smooth, easy order. thanks Ed!

-Brett

[RedDragon]

well every thing except my tiger goby looked good the tiger goby look like it was about to die and I got it home fast and I saved the poor litttle thing, hermits smaller than I thought but they'll do the job, I would like to thank ed for doing the order and doing his best to keep my fish alive if it was not for him I think that tiger would be dead, thanks ED, :-D



Thanks,
Jaime :-D

[z28pwr]

It was nice meeting you and your family Ed and thanks for organizing this.

Most of the snails are creeping around the glass with three snails stacked on their backs :-D but they look good.

[MikeP]

Thanks much Ed, I have the snails spread out among my 4 tanks (even threw one in with my peacock mantis - was still there at lights off and gone at lights on so who knows ) and the emeralds split between my ref tank, nano and jawfish tank.
