Default New inverts!

Just got my order from Reeftopia today, WOW. 50 assorted snail, 22 asst. hermits, 4 emerald crabs and one lettuce nudibranch. Also got 2 free green ricordias All acclimated well, I even had to mount the ricordias (first time for that). Everything looks good. They have a special right now, if anyone needs inverts. $99 for all of the above (thought it was good deal). Everything was alive when it arrived Real happy with that; some of the other place have ordered from, some were DOA. Hope they do well, will keep you informed. Might want to check out their site.

Just make sure you watch out for those emerald crabs...they're "reef safe" but its always 50/50 with those buggers

Keep it well fed Deb so it doesn't start going after your fish & corals. I used to throw in some pieces of cocktail shrimp or imitation crab for it.

So far the nidibranch is doing well, is moving around and eating algae!

Certain nudibranchs are notorious for eating zoas

The lettuce is reefsafe, and is not bothering my zoas! And, the algae is getting cleared from my LR, the new inverts are just what I needed for algae control. The emerald crabs are too busy with the algae yet, to bother anything else. Will see if the lfs will buy them when they are done with the algae.

Deb with those lettuce nudis, watch your powerhead intakes, they are somehow notorious for meeting fate with intake grates

They are also excellent algae grazers !!

$99 with shipping is an excellent price too !!!
