Buying shells?

Post by dalbani » Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:37 pm

Hi all! I have 6 purple pincers and I was just reading up on the type of shells they prefer. Where have you all gotten them from? Amazon? I want to make sure I get the correct ones, not just some cheap imitations. Thanks!!

I’ve always gotten mine from Naples. They have a fantastic selection and are quick to ship.

In the crab care section theres a list of the type they prefer, I'm not able to post the link right now, though, sorry.
I've been buying my shells off of Etsy.
