Care & aquarium requirements

Shrimp, crabs, stars, urchins and other invertebrates bring colour and function to a reef, many earning their place by grazing algae and clearing detritus. They complete a mixed order and appeal to reef keepers of every level.

Compatibility & reef behaviour

Generally reef-safe and peaceful, invertebrates need stable, copper-free water above all. They are sensitive to parameter swings, so slow, careful acclimation is essential to their survival.

Export packaging & shipping

Invertebrates and sessile animals are acclimated and packed with particular care for water quality, bagged in clean saltwater with pure oxygen and insulated for the journey. We route shipments for the shortest reliable transit, and slow acclimation on arrival is essential to their survival. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
