Yeah, I was kinda unsure about the algeas, how he packaged them, etc. I never ordered algea off him, just critters. you can gladly e-mail him and talk to him, he's a very good guy. I don't know what was up with the Florida ceriths. I lost a couple of mine as well. I think I ordered 10 and I know atleast two died on me. It is tough with snails and crabs. If you want 10, you almost have to order 20 and expect some to not make it during hipping. I guess thats the good reason his stuff is so cheap. I also noticed the florida ceriths had that smell that you get and the beach when you dig up some of the mud. Maybe that is where they come from and some of the reason for the smell. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my order. I lost a couple items as well during shipping. I think I am going to reorder again when it gets a little warmer out and hopefully won't have so many die offs. Elysia, let me know how you make out with your algea. If he wants to send more in my package on Monday, I have no problem holding it for you until either next time I come down or when you wanted to come here/meet half way. By the way, thanks for the comment on my son! I hear he gets his looks from his father!! lol j/k It was good meeting some of you for the first time and can't wait to get to know you all better.
