Packing and shipping are charged per box, not per coral. The $10 packing fee covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely; overnight UPS is the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another packing or shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Florida: $30 overnight livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship overnight for a flat $30, plus the $10 packing fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard overnight rate. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Livestock ships UPS Overnight on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. Livestock ships to the continental U.S. Alaska needs a shipping quote before you order, and we cannot ship livestock to Hawaii — get in touch first.

Description

Bumble bees are small carnivorous snails that work the sand bed and the tight spots in rock, taking leftover food and detritus. They are not algae grazers, so they complement astreas and trochus rather than replacing them.

Roughly one per two gallons. Worth knowing: they will occasionally take a small worm, which is generally a feature rather than a problem.
