No need to do a group order. Larry's (Instar) price on them is better then any you will find online and you can get them locally. Larry is just about the only breeder of them in the US. Generally there is a pretty long waiting list for the wild caught ones. A lot of the online guys are starting to order them from him. The other problem with the online guys is that they don't have any way to feed them once they are shipped in from the wild. If you put them in a tank with aiptasia you will never be able to find them again.

Larry did a very nice talk about aiptasia control and berghia a few months ago at a MAAST meeting in Austin.

Rob, I can bring some down if you can meet me in Port A next weekend. I think we are going to be staying in Rockport and should get down there Fri. night. Make arrangements with Larry and I'll work out the transport with him.

I only have about 3 aiptasia (that I can see). What happens if they eat them all? Do they just die off?
