Well yes and no. My FOLWR customers will buy them up at a good price for thier size, but my reefers that were counting on them have to wait now :( . They are by far my larger customer base aswell.

The food is dried microalage, Hamatococcus pluvialis
It contains astaxanthin which may improve coloration not to mention health benefits. Its an antioxidant. The applications range from fish feed to pharmaceuticals. I have been feeding it to my zoas. Astaxanthin is what makes the shells of lobsters red, flamingo legs pink, and salmon pink. Just google it and you will see the endless benefits of astaxanthin.

Why not have this kind of snail in a reef? I accidentally ordered 5 of them a couple of years ago and put them in my 75 gallon reef. They did fine.

I called it "settling" when they knocked stuff over. I figured they'd eventually topple anything that was going to get toppled and it would all settle into good positions. That's what happened. :lol:
