Anybody have banded trochus snails? I think they're perfect but usually only see astrea or turbos. I'd like to add some more banded trochus.
Anybody carry them?

They look alot like Astrea with a few differences:
Trochus can right themselves up and the banded variety has pretty stripes on their shell.
They eat lots similar to Turbos without being as huge.

Here's some info:

Okay cool. :)
Just wanted to mention that I got a PM from another store too (earlier) and will just pick some up whenever somebody gets some in.

I highly recommend these to anybody though. They are about as perfect as a snail can be. :)
