    I'm so excited and I just wanted to join in the Reefcleaners Praise posts;D. I would like to Thank Mr.Maloney for a quick and safe shipment.
    I got my order in today of
    5 small/med nerites
    6 large nerites
    4 nassarius
    14 Fl ceriths
    40 Dwarf Ceriths
    5 mangroves
    Chaeto
    And a piece of mystery macro algae.
    Pics soon to come, I thought I'd let them all rest in a nice warm dark tank for a while before I paparazzi-ed them.
    Most everything but the Ceriths are up and at 'em and my mangroves are in my over flow to keep em safe for now until I make a more permenant place for them.

    That's what I figured. I'll keep an eye on em for a few days like you suggested. ;)
    I can't wait to order the rest of my CuC when I get paid Thursday.

    OK cool. You may want to wait and see if you need them before getting the other half though. Give them an extra week, before you decide it is time for more, you can get a better feel for the amount fo work they will be doing that way.

    Thanks Grinder. It seems 6 of my 14 ceriths didn't make it, but the rest are going to town on my algae.

    You sure they're dead? It takes them a couple days to move around sometimes after shipping.

    I agree with ZachB. I sure as heck didnt count them all, but for the first couple of days I thought I lost some. Sure enough within a week they seemed to be coming out more and more.

    Yeah, The rest of the dwarf ceriths are all moving now, but the 6 FL Ceriths I found were either half way out their shells or part way and not moving at all. I tried to nudge their shells and they didn't move at all. They usually will pop back into their shells if disturbed.
    I had them in my fuge just in case so I could monitor them while they were dormant just so nothing happened to them (ie hermit attacks and the like). They're in the exact same spot I first left them in. I've left them in there just in case I was wrong, but they are still partly out if their shells just laying there.
