HCA: Hermit Crab Association

He is fine. We've had some HCA members in the past report their crabs communicating with eachother, even when all were underground and moulting, they were hearing them chirp and squeak away! Even then, the crabs really dont seem to mind. For me, my craba act the same when 'solo' compared to when the...

Haha, thankfully they dont have eyes, so we're the unfortunate ones that see!

Id give the hairgrass a good trim, nearly down to the roots (like a couple of cm above the substrate) as its just dying. Once brownz leaves dont grow back green. Giving a good lop can also promote new growth. The java underneath the surface looks like its doing well, hopefully it continues to do wel...

Hi I'm new to the group as of yesterday , my name is Mary. Have my 3 crabbies for about 3 months. 1 large named Pedro, 2 smaller their names are TweedleDee and TweedleDoo. I love them so much! Just trying to keep them warm , what is the best lighting and humidifier for them? I saw moss helps too. W...

I am using some kind of foam board sheathing I think. It has a shinny reflective side that I faced to the outside. Should it be facing into the tank or does it matter? I’ve tried to find answers but guess I’m not looking in the right place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'd reccomend shiney si...

Speaking of plants in FW pool, how are they travelling?

What brand of pad are you using? Some brands are known to be a little subpar when it comes to heating so changing it to a more robust brand could fix your issues. Also depends on how cold the room gets. A UTH will only increase the temperature in the tank over the ambient temperature of the room. Do...

Sorry you haven't had good success, it is possible that the shipping process and being in subpar conditions for a long duration does take a toll on the little ones coming in from the store. This is all bundled up to be PPS (post purchase syndrome) which I chalk down to being unable to repair the dam...

Normally, blooms in our substrate occur due to oversaturation of the substrate, which decreases oxygen content in the sub, making it a breeding ground for anaerobic bactetia to multiply. The charcoal will help things smell nice, but I dont think its going to do much for blooms. My understanding of c...

Oh, yes. Its some serious crabitat envy. I should have put a disclaimer!

Looks good to me! ^_^ One that really kick started my tank was curious_kitty: https://www.hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=74449&start=195 That tank (if you can call it that) is an absolute masterpiece, and if I could, would have something just like that in a heartbeat! And this ...

Keep in mind, any plant you put in there - its likely to be destroyed/eaten. I thought I had a good track record with my hoya, but recently came back from my holiday to find it eaten to a stump. :( some of the plants I have, that I thought my crabs will destroy (broms) are still kicking for now. In ...

Amazing. Haha, he's one well travelled kitty!
