Do you think retailers put empty shells in the order or do you think they die in transit? I would think that when your loading say 500 ceriths into bags some empties are going to get in there by accident.
My ceriths are all fine. I only got 12 but they are all moving and doing well. The astreas are all over the place too. The only one I am worried about is the conch. It hasn't moved but when I held it to the glass, its eyes came out and moved so it is definitly alive, it just wouldn't grab on the glass to hold itself. I'll be watching it closely the next couple of days.

All my snails are fine. Floated them for 20 minutes added water and off they went. All my snails were up and moving last night before I went to bed. Alan if your going to the meeting I'll give you one of my frags for handling this mess and for letting me come over at 9:30 last night.
rotleybutii, I'll stay up 'till midnight for frags!
jjakes24, I think conchs are slow-moving and will stay burrowing in the sand. My two have only moved a couple of inches from where I put them in, but I think they'll survive at this point.
Stix, I don't know about empty shells, but I did get a little bonus surprise. The one cerith that I thought was really active...was a hermit in a cerith shell!
As for the rest of the ceriths, they were slow to the dance but a lot of them are up and partying. Still have 30% of my 69 ceriths on the sand, so it may be another day or two before we do the body count, but I'm hoping most of them will come around.
Ribs, you had the big order for ceriths, how are you making out?

They are small frags but have grown fast in my tank.

Almost every astrea are staking their territory. Nice to have a cleanup crew in the tank. What types of algae are attached? I see 2 distinct types....the skinny whiteish stringy stuff and the much fatter green strings.
At this point I consider the ceriths lackadaisical (sp). Reserving judgement for another day or so.......there is occasional movement in the section I've placed them. A very few have wandered farther than the astreas.
Nice floyd cracks

Oh to be a tan tile floor.
First, "Thankyou" to rotleybutii for the frags. They are in the quarantine tank for a little bit before I move them to the display.
Body Count
Looks like most of my Ceriths eventually woke up and started moving. I know Krikor lost a conch. Anybody else? Reeftopia will give us credit as part of their guarantee, but I'd like to let them know soon.
If you had any fatalities, please post here and I'll forward the info to Reeftopia.
