Astrea & Blue Leg Hermits

[adnup]

Hi everyone, I want to take a mini vacation and collect some astrea snails and blue leg hermit crabs for my tanks. I know I can get them in the keys but are they available in your areas?

TIA Adnup

Nope. Maybe farther south by Marco. We have too much freshwater intrusion for astrea (Caloosahatchee river). I have found plenty of turbo shells and a few top shells in the past, but never a live one.
