20 - Margarita Snails
20 - Cerith Snails

Seems way too overkill and just want to milk money from new hobbyist like me lol.

It is not only overkill it is a rip off
If you what to have a couple of hermits because you like them and they are fun to watch get a couple. Wait until they are some unusually coloured ones. Hermits are predators and eat the little critters that feed your sand bed and rock and your corals.

60 snails are guaranteed to starve in your tank, die, rot and pollute your tank. Get less than 10.
