Would love to know if some people from the UK keep marines and where they
get their stock from, and if there are any mail order companies in the UK
where I can get livestock from???

I need a few hundred red leg crabs? any idea where to get them from?

You'll find UK reefers here (go to bulletin board):

Hmm, really? I think you'll want herbivorous fish, snails and tuxedo
urchins (Mespilia globulus) instead. Crabs tend to be omnivorous and
probably eat a lot of small animals you would like to keep. IMO and YMMW

I live in Surrey & use Reefworld in Epsom and Sevenoaks tropical
marine in Riverhead (www.s-t-m.co.uk)

Try reefsuk.org for uk reefers. Haven't explored online suppliers yet
but try aquaticsearch.co.uk as a starting point

I live in Portsmouth and use a couple of local shops which are ok but a
little too keen to sell you stuff if you know what I mean ("yeah yeah - T.
Crocea under an ordinary 40 watt light bulb - no problem mate" - you know
what I mean). I am also looking for a reputable mail order place. I have
looked at the fantasea web site (www.fantasea.co.uk), they have a lot of
stock but I'm not sure about it.
