I noticed some of these for sale on E-Bay. Anyone already have any? What do you think of them?

Cool nocturnals. I've had them in systems before. True living fossil. I talked to Shimek once and he told me that some species can live up to ridiculous ages, something like 30 years. And most never leave the same square meter of surf zone during that whole time.

I have some in my tank. Only see them late at night. And when I shine the light on them they soon run away to hide.. Always seem to be in the same area like djreef said.. They are constantly multiplying in my reef... Kinda interesting little guys. And they seem to be good as a cleanup crew also..

interested in selling any of them at the frag swap?

It would take some time to get them, as I said they only come out late. I do not see hardly any of them till after 2am.. then they stick to the rocks like a snial but thier shell is just kind of a halfshll and hard to grab.. PM me with what you had in mind, and I will see what I can do for you..

If they are a lot of trouble to catch it's not a big deal seems like I remember reading somewhere they stick on rocks like glue

They come from extreme high surf zones. You'll more than likely kill them if you try to pry them off the glass. If you see one on a peice of rubble, though, then that'd be the way to do it.
