FS - Livestock Free Milka Stylo, WTT Tiger Trochus for Bumblebee Snails

I have one or two mini-colonies of Milka Stylo that I'd be happy to give someone who is trying to get into SPS and wants something robust. I'll either dish 'em out locally or bring to reef retreat. If you want to make a donation to "Ben's fish food fund" you are more than welcome but this is more about sharing the joy of SPS than making bank.

My Tiger Trochus snails are reproducing more than your childhood hamsters. They have been breeding non-stop for months and I don't know why (usually it is Temp induced but my tank hovers between 76-77 without departure). This has caused a problem where I have literally hundreds of them, many small, some big, and they are starving (and getting into EVERYTHING).

What I also have many of, are vermetid snails. I'd like to try introducing a bunch of bumblebee snails to see if they have any impact (as per the prophesy).

SO! Is there anyone, or a shop or somewhere, who would trade Bumblebee snails for Tiger Trochus? I think its a good deal for someone since trochus go for like $5/snail and bumblebees for like $2/snail, but I am no economist.

LMK. I am in South Kingstown RI.

EDIT: real quick, please don't claim the coral if you "want them but might make it down in 6-8 weeks weather depending and also don't have a car, but might next year, so if I could just sit tight". If you want these suckers, be ready/able to get 'em.
 
Are you selling the nails on their own?
 
Hi I’m interested
DM me your number, let me know how far you are. You want the Stylo I am guessing?

@Funk N Dust I'd sell you some snails, no problem, but you are north of boston so that is a heck of a trip for snails. I can reach out to you next time I wander north if you want. How many do you want?

I'm curious how many you started with to get them breeding!?

Oh man, not a lot. Like 10 or so. Like I said I have had them breed before but it was infrequent and controlled, these guys are just going at it nonstop.
 
I still have two large Milka frags for free....
 
@NeverlosT interested with the Milka stylo, i cant seem to keep stylo alive, killed to rainbow already. Where are u located?

Also did bumblebee did the magic for your vermetid problem? I’m starting to see a bunch of them in my 2 months old tank transfer, i think it came from the rock i got.
 
I am not sure. I think they have slowed the Vermetids down. Definitely see fewer. I need one of my lazy fish to eat the valonia :/

Milka stylo is up for grabs!
