Got a nice batch of these algae busters. (H. diversicolor) Approximately 1-1.5". $30 each or 4 for $100.

Pickup welcome in Buffalo NY, otherwise can ship UPS overnight for $50.

Got any tips on how to keep them? Also could you show us what your setup looks like?

Lots of algae. Make sure they are right side up. Otherwise not difficult to keep.

Do these eat bubble algae? How are they on glass cleaning?

They won't eat bubble algae. Very good at glass cleaning

USPS Priority 2-3 day shipping is reliable for live orders. Reef Cleaners uses it successfully for snails, so abalone should be fine. Ensure proper packaging to maintain optimal conditions.

Sold out at the moment. More should be available in the fall.

Not shipping priority, they wouldn't handle the transport well. Only intertidal stuff seems to survive being shipped that way.

I've been trying to place an order with Reef Cleaners. They currently recommend against using the USPS because of delays they are experiencing with them locally. You can submit an order for USPS shipment, and then upgtade it to next day UPS for an additional $30.
