Best place to order bulk Astrea snails?

[alexx2208]

Hey guys

I'm currently looking at purchasing around 250-300 astrea snails for my system. Does anyone here know where the best place would be? I'd prefer to buy them for less than a dollar a piece, but I'm willing to look at any place.

Good Lord!!!! How big is your system?

I would take a look at what you come up with on Google for bulk Astrea snails and then start making some phone calls. I would also call Live Aquaria and check with KP Aquatics they catch everything they sell.

Reeftopia is cheapest

I've got a 250 gallon + a 50 gallon that since the flood lost all inverts. I need to replenish the CUC...... And my dad doesn't like crabs, since they "just eat all the snails for their shells", so we are just looking at A LOT of astrea snails... lol.

Ebay is where I always buy my bulk inverts. Last time i got 100 nas snails for 27.99 shipped and 250 blu legs for 120 shipped

Reeftopia or Reefcleaners.

Couldn't you just clean the tank yourself?

If you just want to add some pets though then by all means knock yourself out. GL.

I did recently get 450 snails and hermits off of ebay. They were super cheap. and have been fine since arriving.

450 invertebrates? Wow! How big is the tank? It must be a mess...
