Don't buy from Liveaquaria, they sent me 100 Banded Trochus snails that came in DOA.
Might want to give Algaebarn's a shot

Reefcleaners was the cheapest place I could find nassarius, but only 1 out of the 8 I ordered arrived alive. The other snails I ordered were really healthy though, so maybe the nassarius just don't ship well?

I did not have luck with nassarius ordered from reef cleaners. I got my order a couple weeks ago and all 10 were doa. In addition, they were literally pea-sized or smaller. Not worth it at .50 cents each. At this point, probably 75% of my order is now dead...makes the handful of surviving ceriths, hermits and nerites very expensive.
