Clean up crew

[ravedood]

Where can I buy a good clean up crew. I just setup my 125g tank. What would you guys suggest as a clean up crew.

reefs2go dot com is a good place. They are here in fl and shipping is reasonable

I have not bought a clean up crew in years. Normally would collect my own, but time is limited. Anyone know the price of the blue legged hermit crabs at a lfs? They have a package and it comes out to 3.80 each and I thought they were less at the lfs. Let me know if you have seen them and the price.

just checked reefs2go.....they are 2/$1 shipping usually around $15

I was looking at the package for the hermit crab clean up crew small for 35 hermit crabs for 133.25. This is a package with free shipping. Maybe they are cheaper when you pay for shipping?

A lot of lfs run upto $1 per blue leg hermit. Elite is $0.33 I think and $0.50 for turbo s.
Thats about best around, that I have seen. Marine net and reefs 2 go run a deals on 100 for around $20.
Haven't seen the 100 piece deal lately so probably due to run it soon. Maybe just contact then and tell them you are waiting for it. They might offer out our close.

I used to have crabs (no- not that kind of crabs- lol) but they kept eating my snails. Got a couple cleaner shrimp instead and got rid of the crabs completely. I do like my snails though. Stay away from the Large Turbos as they are like a bulls in a china shop. My opinion. My live rock came with some crazy snails that I absolutely love. They are called Stomatella Snails. They multiply fast and really only see them at night doing their thing. I Have small Astreas and Nassarius as well as a ton of Limpets which also came in on the live rock. My sea-cucumber is also a hard working part of my CUC. My suggestion is to NOT put a starfish in there for a while but i personally love my brittle starfish that is getting huge. Last suggestion- You do not need to follow the 1 snail per gallon and 1 crab per 4 gallon rule. My opinion here. Stay flexible as it is a balancing act. Good luck...

Check out ccritters.com great prices and right in the keys if you order from there let me know I'd get a few snails.
