Re: Moving from 10g to 120g, HELP!
Ideally you want as large as possible to cover the back of the tank. Ultratherms or Fluker’s heaters available online would be ideal, but for a tank that large you may need more than one You may need a little more sand and coconut fiber for a tank that large, depending on how deep you want it Be car...

Crab out of shell this morning
I don’t see anything specifically that would cause it. Protein is available on a regular basis? Any access to fruit? Otherwise it could be a delayed PPS symptom

Re: Marine tank growing mold
Fungi can also appear in aquatic marine systems if there are organics available to feed on

Re: General info help please
That sounds like chirping, or stridulation Leave the buried ones be for a good bit. I don’t usually start to worry until they’re well past the one month mark And yeah adding moist substrate can cause the humidity to jump a bit. Give it a couple days and it’ll probably go back down again Sent from my...

Re: Should she have molted by now
I probably would expect her to have molted once by now. How deep is the substrate, what type, and how moist is it kept?

Re: how long before I assume my hermit crab is dead?
Anything beyond a month or two is worrisome and four is definitely weird. He’s either living underground and surfacing without notice or deceased

If he was molting there would’ve been a shed exoskeleton by now

Saltwater usually lasts a good while, just don’t store it in direct sunlight

Hermit Crab Remaining Stationary for Long Periods, No Antenna Movement
Sometimes they’ll just sit somewhere and stare into space. The fact that he does eat is a good sign. Regardless of whether he’s sick or just in a mood best you can do is keep conditions good and wait

Re: DID I SCREW UP???
Leave him there for a couple more days and see what happens. If nothing after that time he has likely passed

Re: General info help please
Ideal saltwater is similar to the ocean, about 1.022–1.025 specific gravity, but they can tolerate anywhere from 1.021–1.028. You can use a refractometer but since hermit crabs aren’t sensitive you can just follow package instructions for preparing (exact measurements are a little overkill) Zupreem ...

Re: Marine tank growing mold
What is it growing on? If it’s food you can reduce feeding, otherwise lowering humidity to 70% can help reduce it. Substrate either use less coconut fiber or mix with saltwater (spraying saltwater works too, just note that repeatedly spraying will result in salt buildup) Sent from my iPhone using Ta...

Re: My hermit crab has switched genders!
Gonopores have been observed to come and go, and intersex crabs do occur.
