Fresh Florida Keys Stocky Cerith Snails — Cleanup Crew Packs

Freshly collected by The Underwater Gardener in the Florida Keys and conditioned in our Key West systems. Stocky Cerith snails work across rockwork and sand, grazing film algae and diatoms while scavenging leftover food and organic debris. Available in limited 5- and 10-snail packs.

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

Freshly collected by The Underwater Gardener in the Florida Keys and conditioned in our Key West systems. Natural shell color, shape, and coralline coverage vary from animal to animal.

What they do

Work across rockwork, glass edges, and sand.
Graze algae and diatoms and scavenge organic debris and leftover food.
Reef safe with peaceful tank mates.

What to expect

Wild-collected animals. Natural shell shape, color, wear, algae, and coralline coverage vary.
The Stocky Cerith supply is substantially more limited than the Astrea supply.
Buy only what your aquarium can support. A cleanup crew needs available algae, biofilm, and organic food; too many animals in a new or spotless tank will not have enough to eat.
