I know about reefcleaners but I want to stay away from them. Two last orders where very bad. One order wanted snails only and sent me hermits, second one all where dead and now only will ship to me UPS now.

Same. John’s service has gone to trash. I’ve been living here for 20 years. I always could get priority. But now he refuses because one order came in 3 days and not 2 and everything was dead. He got mad at me for having to refund me because of the PayPal fees.

Yes, it has been bad lately.
 
This has become his M.O.

Besides he's just a middle man, go strait to the source.

I didn't have a particularly good shipment from that vendor either.

I ordered some snails and hermits from saltwaterfish dot com fairly recently, and they were pretty good.

Not sure why I kind of forgot about reeftopia lately. Haven't ordered from them for years, but in the past I recall being happy with their stuff. I did have one order where they didn't ship the serpent stars I ordered, but getting a refund was easy. My current royal gramma is from them from ten years ago.

I like how all the shell's are bleach white and fresh. Means they haven't been sitting in a toilet somewhere. Hint hint

He’s not a middle man. Unless he change his ways. He used to have his crews collect them.

Never in a million years. Dude is as bad as they come. Don’t buy his unicorn tears in a bottle.

Please explain, I never had a bad experience with them.

A quick check of online reviewers suggests that's not a popular take.

Well I did go through eBay when I purchased from them so maybe that’s why I had a better experience than others.

My order from him took 14 days. He shipped live animals usps ground advantage. He didn’t care to make it right or refund me so I had to open a claim to get my money back.

Had I read reviews I would have know.

Asd has good cuc. Spendy but I usually add a couple to my orders.

If that's the dream he sold you. You really think playboy has crews all over the Atlantic and Caribbean? Please.....Diver - wholesale - retail - with John being the latter at best.
 
Top Shelf Aquatics. And Alyssa’s Seahorse Saavy have both been great for me.

My order from Reef Cleaners was a nightmare. Nerites were dead, and I got ten hermit crabs instead of dwarf ceriths. Couldn’t get them to respond to emails.

I know for a fact he used to have crews collecting in Florida. He used to post videos all the time of him diving collecting.

Yes he also imports lots of stuff. But Florida native he WAS collecting.
