Has anyone ordered from liveaquariua.com?

Im probably going to purchase 50+ snails and 50+ hermits and maybe a fish or two. anyone have experience ordering snails or crabs and fish?

Thanks.

I have gotten two orders from them. My first was two A. percula and a skunk cleaner shrimp. They are doing well almost a year later. I just got a Kole yellow eye tang on Friday that appears to be doing quite well. It didn't eat for 1.5 days that I could see, but it has been eating well since.

I didn't QT it, though, because I just didn't feel that my 2.5 gallon tanks would be good for it.

I am quite happy with the snail/hermit/urchin order I got from ReefCleaners a couple weeks ago.

They are a double edged sword. They mow down some serious algae, but need to be picked up every time they fall. *I* probably won't order any more as the nerites I got seem to do much more and can pick themselves up when they fall.

Really, how can a snail fall when their feet never leave the ground?

I suggest Trochus sp. snails instead. More active, less clumsy, and better at righting themselves. Not perfect though. I rescue one a week maybe.

I have had very good experiences with several orders from LiveAquaria. One time a fish arrived very dead and they credited me right away no questions asked. The Trochus, Nassarius, Cerith and bumble bee snails were all fine.
