Who's a good vendor for clean up crews these days?

[Anonymous]

Like the subject says. Any particular vendors to keep in mind for snails, crabs and whatnot these days? Or just the usual suspects like Liveaquaria & PA?

For all their sins, the GARF cleanup crew seems as good as any.

We were happy with the order.

etropicals has decent prices and a build your own package option with free shipping if you get over $60 worth or so.

Seconded...

I will give them a try too. The time rapidly is approaching. Do people use any hermits anymore, or are they considered bad news?

Reeftopia rules - have bought from them several times over the past few years. Etropicals has a nice mix and match thing which saves you from buying a package that has too much of what you don't need and not enough fo what ya do.

Just be sure to get the ones that stay relatively small. People still use them, I like them just because they are fun to watch, but I don't put in nearly as many as some do (1 per gallon or some such nonsense).

I would got with hermits initially but not perminately. They end up eating things you don't want them to like xenia. I'm evicted some last week. Too many.

For long term use, snails is the way to go.

I got snails and hermits after reading this recommendation about this guy on ebay. Great service with a great deal from hawaii. The link to the vendor is in the thread.
