I assume you're talking about Gulf Specimen Lab? Their minimum is $75 in livestock, super easy to hit looking at the cool stuff they have haha. More importantly, if you don't want substitutions, you have to make sure to tell them that, otherwise you might end up with a bunch of stuff you didn't want.

This is pretty much all the info I can find them, with a relevant but informationally lacking quote above the link:
"During the juvenile and adult period they inhabit the sand and coral bottoms from coastal areas, eating small invertebrates."
