I've had a similar experience. I've since found some, but a lot of venders are out of stock. My guess is that its a seasonal lull in availability.

Hurricane season tends to throw a wrench into collecting livestock in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico where the Aptasia eating peppermint shrimp come from.

I'm told it's because of the hurricane.

Except... Because everyone else is out of stock... Now the demand on the captive bread people has their supply out of stock.

No stock with AlgaeBarn.
