Ordering Hermits Online!!!!!

[yamahaguy06]

I have a 95 gal bowfront. looking into going reef. right Just wondering now im looking at hermits. Just wondering if anyone knew any good websights to order on. I have tried Smith and Fosters, and Saltwaterfish.com. But the shiping is crazy... ANY IDEAS. thanks...

My idea is to go with snails and forgo the hermits. If I had to do it over again I would only use snails and a brittle star as my cleanup crew.

eTropicals has a build-your-own reef cleaner deal, where if you buy $60 worth of cleaners, the shipping is free: BYO Reef Cleaners

Hermits are not always popular with reefers, as they sometimes eat snails, or steal food from corals. If you decide you really want some, only get about 1 per 10 gallons, or fewer. I only have about 6 in my 125g tank, and it seems to be OK.

Garf.org

They have tons of information and also sell Live sand (GARF grunge) and critters. They are who I am going to order my reef clean up crew from and likely live sand too
