I am going to order some reef critters,....red leg or blue leg hermit crabs and maybe some snails. Anyway, the last time I got them off of e-bay and it was a good deal. The same supplier now has a package for 150 critters for $99, shipping is $35 dollors, for a total of $134. That works out to ~$0.89 per critter. I want to go in with someone else as it will be cheaper than ordering a smaller package and paying the same shipping charge. I want at least 50 -75 out of 150 critters, that mean I would only need one person but could take two. The break down would be:

one other person= $67/person for 75 critters
two other people= $44.66/person for 50 critters

if that didn't work:

The ebay Item # 2316981437 just enter this number in the search box at the top or get to the fish section....I know you know where it is at, and type critter in the search box on the left.


Here is some verbage from the site:

You can choose from the following:


MEXICAN RED LEG REEF HERMITS: (Sea Of Cortez)
The best hermit for you tank These guys will eat diatom, hair, detritus, and **EAT** red slime.
HAWAIIAN ZEBRA HERMITS: (Hawaiian Islands)
These guys will eat diatom, hair and detritus. These are the most active hermits you'll ever see.
BLUE LEG HERMITS: (Caribbean)
They eat diatom, hair and detritus. They are very hardy and dependable workers.
MARGARITA SNAILS: (Sea Of Cortez)
A gentle coralline encrusted snail which has a great appetite for algae. They stay small and eat diatom and film type algae's and really help on the glass.
ASTREA SNAIL: (Caribbean)
Astrea snails are probably the most commonly used snail. They are small and are an excellent choice. They eat film algae's.
CERITH SNAIL: (Sea Of Cortez)
It not only grazes algae, but also loves detritus. This cone shaped snail will clean those hard to get places, where other snail will not reach.


These are the best cleaners that we have tested in our reef systems and should do a pretty awesome job on your aquarium. So the choice is yours you can pick 150 of the finest cleaners available in any combination. At the end of auction please notify us which critters you would like and how many quantities of each one.

It is panning out I just can't figure out how to post the list. Also check under group orders, UTMACHETE is doing an order that I am getting in on, that can't be beat!
