Yeah they said that they send most of the N. Wennerae they catch to Dr. Caldwell. And they were rude to me and answered none of my questions I'm a bit miffed at them. Not the greatest of business men

They are good guys over there...probley caught one of them after they had been diving all day.
When I went over there, they hd about 12 mantis shrimp, and they were all N. Wennerae, and 6$ each. Yeah the shipping is bs, I would not pay 50$ for a 2 inch mantis. Just ask your LFS to get one in for you. My friends dad did that, and I accidentally bought it without knowing that. they sold me the tiny 2inch red mantis for 5$.

The TBS guys are good guys if they don't think you're a stuck up smarty pants. My first e-mail was sent asking if they had any N. Wennerae. They sent back a somewhat annoyed e-mail saying that "people" should stop asking them that and come here. It makes me angry that people sell product that they don't know or care about. You would think after being in the business for so long they would at least make an effort to identify what they have especially after having done so much business with Dr. Caldwell. Anyway . . . sorry about the rant.
