I’m trying to get empty shells for my red tip crabs. LFS is a disaster (dirty, dead fishes in tanks, never have answers to questions) I traveled 1.5 hours to a better store but they don’t sell empties. Any ideas where I can get some? Is Amazon good? And if I do get them from online, how do I Introduce them to my tank?

Welcome to R2R.

Could start with Reef Cleaners, I have linked to the Medium/Large shells, but they also have smaller shells. Downside is the $14 shipping fee for small of a cost, but you can also add some extra stuff while you are shopping.

Forgot to ask, do I just put them in when I get them?

Welcome to the party!
Most of the online places that sell fish and invertebrates will also have empty shell packs.
Richard's seashells in Florida also has a ton of different shells.
