I order these for my live treats. Figured I would share with all my state side mantis folks. The crabs are small perfect for algae control but also for keeping our mantis bussy

Good deals on snails as well. Also don't forget to ask for some pods. Sometimes they will through them in for nothing. Great company to work with.

IMO, Hermit crabs are waaaaay too small.. atleast for larger smashers. They are mostly all shell, little crabs, no meat to them.

My peacocks won't go for the blue legs. I guess they are not enough pay off for the effort or they don't taste good. Who knows. They will take out some shrimp, clams, or snails though. Not the new one it's just stupid. The last two were pretty aggressive and action packed.

Yep agree with you both. That's why I ordered the snail pack. I am hoping I don't open JP the box and find the worlds smallest snails.

I have to get used to the idea of buying blue-legs for food; I'm still amazed to just get them for a reef.
