I ordered their “trochus” snails. Came in good condition, but most were tectus snails, not black footed trochus. They were huge, but constantly tipped over and couldn’t right themselves. Did get a couple actual trochus though.

I ordered for my recent build. I’ve ordered a lot of cuc in the past. It was the best packaged and sizes I’ve had before. Highly recommend. When I need more will buy again.

Worries me a bit cause they were not all Trocus but if they where alive and eating thats a plus

I watched the video they have posted showing Hilary Jaffe and was thinking not all orders will be like this cause they sent her amazing sizes

Yeah, they all made it okay. They call them “white trochus” snails. Says it depends on the season. But they were pretty big, not the tiny snails most places sell now.

I like Reef Cleaners for clean up crew critters. My one minor complaint is that the animals I have received have indeed been kind of small, but Reef Cleaners is inexpensive, and ships *most*, but not all, critters by inexpensive USPS Priority Mail. Free shipping at $75, I believe.

I ordered from them a cleanup crew - it arrived alive - don’t think they generally keep the stock themselves though if you order a decent package: i.e drop shipped.

As others have pointed out - you don’t always get what you ordered. In the language on their site they state they may issue substitutions etc.

That who I normally order from but was not super impressed by my last order and wanted something different

I order 10 trochus and a cleaner shrimp from them over the summer. Zero issues with snails, cleaner was DOA and they gave me a credit same day.

Their sizes are the biggest I've gotten on online orders compared to others. They are defiantly large in my book.

I've ordered trochus, nassarius, turbos, hermits and urchins in the past 6 months. No deaths.

What you have is more than enough. Build slowly on your CUCs. No need to rush.

I just placed a order and will report back here after I tank it tomorrow

Just got a refresh order in from them today, LOVE their quick kits. Kits include shipping.

So I got my order in and the first thing I noticed was a ice pack was in the box and no heat pack and the temp here is in the 40's to 50 at night.
The Nassaurius had 2 HUGE ones and 3 were just good and big (they all made there way slowly under the sand)
The turbos also like the nassaurius ha 2 very large and 3 small(they all opened but still siiting in one place)
The trocus are small and all but one opened so far (they are moving the most but not much)
The cerith are normal good size and moving but not much.
The order seemed fine except for the ice pack and time will tell if these guys get more active

Yea it's a weird time of year, you either account for the cold nights or the hot temps of the trucks / planes.

My experience with this group was neutral. The Zoas were a bit misrepresented bc the Pixie dust colors weren't even close to the picture. The Fire and Ice and Fruit loops were laughably small (I literally laughed out loud). Like 2mm small. Order from CoralsAnonymous and you get what you expect every time. Here is my main concern and what I wrote them regarding the porcelain crab I ordered:
-
I want to add some detail to my review in hopes you will update your item listings.

You item is described as:

Petrolisthes galathinus​

An anemone hosting crab that is often white and spotted as seen in your picture. They have also been know to be banded vs speckled. "Variation in color" is ok and expected. However, this is not the crab you shipped. This is what people want and buy for hosting anemones.

You actually shipped:

Petrolisthes armatus

Invasive species to N.A. These hide in rocks and do not host anemones. Which is conveniently a North American species that you note finding a ton off the coast of California which is where this crab is found.

Disappointed in the confusion caused by your item and description. Would not have purchased if it wasn’t an anemone crab.

I want to make sure you get the feedback. This was my first purchase from you and I have not experienced this from other vendors such as corals anonymous. I only purchased the additional items from you because you had a porcelain crab. The other items were not quite a typical expectation from a collector to match what you were actually shipping. IE: Sizes and color. I also see you have added this note after the fact (guessing bc others are complaining) "Coloration can vary - these are not always white, brown is common as well."

I only hope this helps improve your offerings so people don’t feel played by asterisks and purposeful omissions that would otherwise steer someone away.
