yes that's right but I have never seen any that were very big. Mine are bigger than a golfball but smaller than a handball. they are healthy as well having been with me for 4 years! Ps: LFS gives me 3 smaller ones (2.35 per) for 1 bigger one .
Do the math cmantis. Jeezzz

So basically you are charging 5 cents less than your perceived retail pricing?

Whenever I get turbos I make sure to get the smaller ones. You couldn't pay me to take a giant bulldozer.

I have one the size of a golfball you can have if you come up here to get it. Its a great eater I just prefer smaller ones that I can get around here anytime.

Stores around here cant give away the bigger ones so they sit in their tanks.

Smart decision, I love my trochus, they don't flip over, and if they do they are able to unflip themselves using their foot, and they don't knock down my frags. I haven't had luck with Mexicans living more then a week in my tank, even though I have low nitrates, a ton of other hermits and snails and a lot of hair algae. I tried 4 times, I'm done now lol, I'll stick to trochus and stomatella.
