Not too long ago I did't have enough of a CUC - now we've simply got too many critters for our 90G. So we're parting with a few.
  • 1 caribbean pincushion urchin - 1.75", white spines with pink tips, maroon stripes ($10)
  • 1 caribbean long spine urchin - 2.5", maroon ($7.50)
  • 10 dwarf cerith snails - .5" to .75" ($3 for all 10)
  • 3 large cerith snails - 1" to 1.5" ($2.50 for all 3)
  • 4 large nerites - 1" to 1.25" ($2.50 for all 4)
  • 2 hawaiian dwarf strombus - .25" to .5" ($5 for the two)
  • 1 caribbean brittle star - 5", greenish gray and white/cream ($7.50)
The nerites and the strombus are constantly breeding and laying eggs. The stombus eggs hatch as miniature snails (no larval stage) - so free snails! These nerites don't seem to park themselves out of the water like some I've had - that eventually go missing because they wander out of the tank.

The pincushion urchin comes with her ecoutrements - about 4 or 5 snail shells she has stuck to her at any one given time! Thankfully, mine seems to prefer the empty kind, and leaves the living critters alone. Have not had any trouble with this urchin and my frags - although she does have a thing for my coralife temp probe... and is always trying to walk off with it.

Can bring to meeting on the 18th or meet you somewhere in Murfreesboro. Thanks!
