2 fighting conch snails. Very fun snails to watch. I have a big one and a little one. paid $10 each, asking $10 for both. I love these but these like to burrow in the sand and I'll be doing bare bottom for a couple of months... Kristy

Lots of small and large frags of Kenya trees - free or trade for a small zoa frag -rick

black diadema long spine urchin (great at eating hair algae, does not collect things) - $10 or trade for zoa/paly frag(s) - rick

pincushion urchin (eats all kinds of algae including some coralline, collects stuff) - $5 or trade for zoa/paly frag - Yvonne

super awesome spiny oyster - can only go to a home that doses phyto frequently - paid$ 60, asking $50, fantastic looking specimen, always healthy and open to filter the water - tebstan

assorted red tip hermit crabs (as many as I can find) - free or trade for a small zoa frag- rick

3 peppermint shrimp - free or trade for a small zoa frag -Yvonne?

possibly (got to locate) 2 small female emerald crabs - Virginia and Veronica. Males are said to grow bigger and more likely to eat things other than algae. $5 for both - rick

a big chunk of xenia (several very large stalks) attached to rock - Yvonne

Thanks

ha, when I posted it I was actually envisioning you (like: got to go to somebody who reliably feeds them like tebstan would. ;) )

I can take a picture of the animal when my new camera comes in (hopefully later today). My old camera was terrible.

here's the spiny oyster. lots of mysterious stuff growing on it including some nice pink zoas. the fluffy red things only seem to grow on it. Had it for a long time and I haven't seen it spread to anything else

Thank you! I *love* the oyster. He's bigger and spinier and more covered in random stuff than I expected. It's great. :)

The conchs were moving all over the place in the bag on the way home and then they shuffled away from the spot they were deposited in last night, so it seems they are happy and doing well for us! Thanks again, Karin.
