Control critter packages?
Hello,
I'm looking for an algae and detritus control package. I seem to be leaning towards www.reeftopia.com, can anyone suggest reeftopia or maybe others I should look at... Thanks... ocsreefer |

I'll second Reeftopia. I purchased a TON of snails from them and all arrived in good shape. I made my own "package" though as I did not want any hermits.

Yes they do a great job of packing...
I purchased the algae control critter special, with little modifications... 36 turbo (astrae) snails 10 scarlet reef hermits 12 medium blue leg hermits 2 emerald crabs 6 cerith and 6 nerite snails 2 star snails I eliminated 2 of the emerald crabs and the equivlent in price of ceriths (My son is a little scared of the emerald crabs looks, a few had to go.) Then to save on the shipping costs I added the following. 12 Nassarius vibex snails 1 Royal Gramma 1 Red Tree Sponge Since my last post the only problems, two dead blue crabs. Not sure if it was the emeralds or one of the two larger red crabs..? My sponge and royal gramma are looking good.. Thanks again for the help...

thats cool, keep an eye on those Emerald Crabs and it is very possible the hermits will make themselves at home in a SNAIL SHELL, doesn't matter if it WAS occupied or not....

Just in case anybody was trying to follow my lead with the citters...
I think the two emeral crabs have taken out two blue and one large red crab... I not sure if this is because of a lack of food ??? would any one have any ideas on haulting these green crab eaters..? Thanks again
