Personally I like trochus they are nocturnal so predators normally don't get to them. Plus they successfully reproduce. Also they can right themselves if they fall
by anemone crabs do you mean porcelain crab than yes. the acro crabs i can get but not very often i can get anything liveaquaria gets depending on each week
Nick, if you can get the acro/ crabs, I'll definetely take them. There is a difference between Porcelain and anemone crabs from what I've read. Both are filter feeders, and I was thinking about trying both. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/12/inverts - here has a good description between the two. http://www.aquacon.com/crabs.html
i def see these guys from time to time Tetralia nigrolineata and the anemone crab and porcelain i see listed usually as the same thing just white and blue but i can usually get both

I only have my nano so I wouldn't need any huge numbers but would be interested in a few blue legged hermits and maybe 5 trochus snails and one emerald crab.
I would be in for 20 Trochus, 30 Nerites, 30 Nassirius, and ! Peppermint shrimp if it is guaranteed to met the requirements JDA set out in this thread:
you are correct on the trochus but not much interest in the other stuff. i just need to nail down who needs what so i can see if i can get a complete order going
Can we decide by Monday? I'm having algae issues now and would like snails by next weekend. I'm fine with going another route either way, just let me know.
