Snail Shells

[Oscar]

I have 2 blue legged hermits in my tank to keep the hair algae at bay. They are doing an outstanding job.

Each shell they are using are about 0.75" in length. Will the hermits get much bigger? If so where can I get snail shells in the Okanagan? Do hobby/craft shops have a supply?

I've got them from Reefkeepers in the past. Other LFS may have them as well. If you can't find any I have extras.

Michael's craft stores have decent ones.

Thanks. I only need a few, not sure how long these guys have been in their current homes. I will give you a call next week.

Thanks for the shells Chris, nice colour selection. One of the hermits immediately moved into a new home, this one was probably 3 X the size of his previous shell. The 2nd hermit is still thinking about moving, constantly comes back to the shells to check them out.

I will talk to you later about some more LR and a couple more hermits.
