Money/Gold Ring Cowrie Snails in USA

[dnprall]

I'm looking for some cowrie snails. I've seen some on sale at Aquariumcreationsonline.com ( not recommended per our other reef2reef friends) as well as Infinity Reefs (but they want $20/snail which I think is high). When I google for the snails, I find a lot of sites from Canada, the UK, and Australia. None of the Canadian sites will ship to the USA.

Reef Cleaners has then for $5/snail but has a $50 minimum and I don't need anything else on the site to get to the shipping minimum.

Anyone know of another reputable source of this snail?

Thanks!
David

Get 10x ring cowries to meet the minimum. $5/per is fairly common here in Canada.

Can't help with the minimum order issue, but I did get three from Reefcleaners in March just to try and they are all still alive. I don't see them much except when I am doing maintenance, and I'm not sure exactly what they are eating. However they do seem to be 'Puffy' resistant (Canthigaster valentini).
