-AUSSIE INVERT HELP-

[...]

If you are not Australian or have no idea what our sucky invert selection is like click off this unless your bored idk.

Alright Australians, I just need your help with these questions. This might seem odd but online retailers we get sell barely anything and are usually not high quality (Unless I am missing something). But when go into a LFS, they will always have something new and cool. Also when one of you say we get heaps of corals, yes we do BUT not everyone LIKES corals and god dangit we can ship fish across our borders but not starfish and shrimp??? Why? Hey Prime Minister if your reading this, get a brain. Anyways, i kinda just wanted to know these couple questions-

-The trochus snails we get, I seem to have these spiky shells with maybe really really faint stripes? Cannot tell, bt are these just like banded trochus just look different. One of mine have already died and its not water quality because my linckia seems happy.

-Do we get Blue Tuxedo Urchins, Serpant Sea Stars and Chocolate Chip Sea Stars?

-Are Janitor Hermits the Dwarf Yellow Tipped Hermits?

-And why does God Hate me? (sorry for you Christians.)

Hi mate just one thing............hmmmmmm pretty sure the PM does not make those choices pretty sure the advice comes from the appropriate expert bodies with recomendations comming ultimately from marine biologists:)

Digging up an old thread, but I feel you. But I generally see the opposite here in Sydney, the choice for inverts online is much better, trochus snails for $8 and hermit crabs from $4, vs $20/$17 at most stores. Even with shipping, buying 2 or 3 would make up the delivery cost.
