I have hermits (I know, claws and everything), and they keep investigating the two free shells I have in the tank, and one keeps switching back and forth. I think I need a few bigger shells and my snails won’t die.

Any place to buy from that have unique shells? Not looking for artificial or football helmets, but some kind of cool snail shell would be fun.

They don’t kill your snails ?

They don't. I have nassarius, cerith, tonga fighting conch, and large trochus. I have three hermits, scarlet, zebra, and a black/orange.

I've seen the black orange try, but has never been successful. The other two are so small.

There are tons of online seashell stores.
Artsy stores, not fish stores.

I have a bag of empty shells for precisely this reason, happy to give you a grab bag of empties if you like.
