HCA: Hermit Crab Association

When tbis was taken it was 6". This tank is a 29ga tall so I cut off the sub in the pic. I have since downsized as we lost several crabs.

No, it certainly came on really sudden but I'm suspicious our crabs are not coming out at all. Even for food, water... I'm putting out some cooked shrimp for them tonight. Its solid white and if any touch it I'll be able to see substrate on it by tomorow. Ive done everything Ive read about except sw...

It was too late, it didnt make it through the night. Although, there is no evidence the other crabs went near it.

Sooo... Came home to one of my crabs walking around nude. Do I do anything? Hes got 6-8 options for new shells but he didnt take any. I can see now he was too big for the shell he was in.

Well... I guess misting the tank can wait since he's on the front of a sliding screen lid [emoji1751]

Ok, show off your crab digs! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190912/99f97066cc84f1f20ff8f23c4b438c93.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190912/37ca686cb82e32b2cbc843df3d215db4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190912/c68b22ce123bf4c79fd2847acc9ce5a8.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2...

Mine mostly dig right in front of the uth so id say its fine to place it right away. If you are worried just flip the tank around and place it on the other side, assuming the furniture wont need repositioned like mine would.

I don't think it would work that way, I have close to 8" of all EE in there now. I would have to remove a lot of it to get it the way I want it. Guess I will just wait them out, might set an alarm for 3am to see who's coming out at night.

So ive recently planned some upgrades/purchased some new furniture and toys for my crabs. I'm also planning a substrate change from all EE to a mix of sand and EE. The problem I'm having is my crabs are not coming up much right now and im afraid to disturb them in case they are molting. I have 5 pp ...

Ok, I rinsed the mold off of the climber with hot water then soaked it in the saltwater mixture, then I let it sit in the sun for a day. I re-installed it in the tank with a plactic climbing stick they will have to climb in order to get to it. Within a few hrs outlr most active crab (Turbo) was at t...
