All in all I'm happy. I am a little disappointed in some sizes I have.
These are both measured out to 7/8" opening on my form but as you can see there is a difference...

Some shells aren't as stunning as others but now I have a good idea what they look like in person so I know which favorites I will order in the future and which ones I will just have 1 copy of.

I ordered from Naples Seashell Co. I ordered these shells under the hermit crab ---> round opening section. I thought my guys were medium sized crabs but from what I got with these shells I now realize mine are more on the small side then medium. For now I can only use the shells on the right not the left. If I could change anything I would have ordered from the small Seashell section instead. Live and learn. Hopefully this helps others who are looking to order online.

My favorites are by far:
- pearl banded turban (thank god I ordered two)
- pacific turbo
- silver turbo
- pearl banded tapestry

The others are kinda meh. Instead of ordering them just buy one fancy shell that would come to the same cost as all 6 like the dolphin etched one.

Love the shell selections. Most of Naples stuff is fairly accurate. The one that is suppose to be same size but different... Maybe it was a mistake or they were low in supply. I've never had that happen.... Wish my babies were that size again. I have 3 in a 1 inch. Other 9 are 1 1/2 +.

May I ask how much they cost with shipping? I want to get new shells

The shipping fee was 6.75 for shipping from Florida to Connecticut. I paid the additional 1.75 for priority mail which added up to 8.50 so I could get it faster.

The shells are very pretty! And that shipping is super affordable.

I agree! My two males were going CRAZY the night I put them into the tank.

Mine are also in 1 inch and it's hard to find them...I have ordered on line through Etsy and have tried on Naples but got overwhelmed lol I'll try again cause I need more a little bigger than 1 inch

those look so so nice! im going to try one more place tomorrow to get some shells. hopefully they are worth waking up early for! this morning i tried and got 45min of traffic and about 2min with my caliper and not a single shell even 3/4. no where near the 7/8, 1 or 1 7/8 i need for two crabs. again they are soooo beautiful i might just order some!!!

only thing i can say about sizing too is some measure things different so maybe that played a role as well.

Thanks everyone! And good luck finding shells! I went with Naples due to their good reviews and selection of shells. Whenever I bought shells at a craft store I got babylons and unpolished green turbos with white calcium built up on them. Figured I would spoil them with this purchase.
