Trouble finding Clean Up Crew?

[Luckki]

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a shortage of clean up crew critters right now? I have been to three LFS and looked at several of the large online retailers. No one seems to have stuff in stock.

Luckily the LFS near me has more clean up crew than fish in the tanks so I’ve never run into that problem, however I went 2 months without finding a single tiger conch anywhere in person or online so I def can see the issue…

The LFS does not want to sell their hermits or their larger snails. I guess they are having issues getting stuff in stock?

I’ve always used ReefCleaners. They’ve been around for years. Never had luck with their free shipping though. I Always pay for 0vernight.

I just had an order from reefcleaners delivered this week. Easy to order, John is very responsive via email and the order arrived looking great.

I was just wondering this too. LFS was out on a lot of stuff. figured I'd go reef cleaners and it seems they have a bunch OOS too. Time of year?

lotta the various online vendors i looked at seems somewhat sparse on a fair amount... figured holidays and season part of it.,,

...and now that some seem to have more stock, this darn 'acrtic' mess is such it's too risky to order anything for 2 weeks.

I understand, I am starting to see brown spots all over my tank I an hoping that Wednesday will be warm enough that Reefcleaners will be able to send out the snails I order and the hermits. I just need something to help.

Reefcleaners.org got me what I needed and everything survived. You might check them out. if you are looking for some algae eating snails I highly recommend the Virgin Nerites Snails.

You will save yourself a lot of money on CUC if you order from Reef Cleaners.com They have quite a bit, and are very reasonable. The ship well. I am getting ready to order more from them.

was wondering if those fuzzy chiton are worth it for grazing? I heard the eat GHA. Do they eat more GHA than tuxedos or a lawn mower?
