Questions and Answers
When having large orders or heavy items shipped, Airlines Shipping is the preferred method. There are many reasons for this, but primarily they are Speed and Price.
For example, if you are shipping a box of Live Rock from our location in Florida to Chicago, we can drop the package off at 7:30am and you are able to pick it up at Midway Airport by 11:30am for roughly the same cost it would have been to ship the exact same package via UPS Ground and that would have taken 4 days to be delivered.

Halloween Hermit Crab
Ciliopagurus strigatus
The Halloween Hermit Crab also known as the Striped Hermit Crab or Orange Legged Hermit Crab. It has a bright orange body with red banding. With its unmistakably attractive appearance and the propensity to consume nuisance algae such as green hair and cyanobacteria it is a desired addition to many marine aquariums.
The Halloween Hermit crab is found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific including the Red Sea and Hawaii. They are normally found in shallow coastal waters in sandy areas and not necessarily on the reef itself. This makes the Halloween Hermit Crab an excellent occupant to keep the sandy substrate aerated in a home aquarium.
