HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Wow! Your tat looks beautiful! Love the idea, and love the rocks, too. Looks very snazzy! Your hermies must think they are in paradise!

Rawr, I use San Francisco Bay Brand items and think they are very high quality. I like the fact that the items I use are generally naturally dried and not smacking with tons of chemicals/additives/preservatives. I figure if I choose not to eat foods with tons of preservatives and artificial ingredie...

I love your crabs!! Great pictures! What a beautiful variety of crabs. I love the smiley face barnacle shell!!

Looks like a good time!

Hahahaha OMG so cool! I like the little tunnel that runs in between the tanks. Looks terrific and I LOVE your crabs!!! Beautiful crabs, beautiful shells!!

I agree with Annopia. Turning your hand the other way (palm side up) and having your hand stretched completely open is a way to almost guarantee you won't get pinched (which rarely happens anyway!).

Beautiful crabs!!

Great pictures. Really sorry to hear about Mallow.

I cannot wait to see how this is going to look!!!! This is a pretty awesome project!

My crabs love raisins and the newest addition----silversides. I have to admit, I was kind of grossed out and feeling bad about giving them the silversides (they are frozen, I thaw them), but I generally put them in the tank, and within about 10 minutes can't find them because the crabs drag them off...

Hello, I keep my tats in our office/spare bedroom. We are in the office on a daily basis. I have the opportunity to watch the crabbies, while at the same time adjusting the temperature in that room to something perfect for them, not necessarily what I want it to be! Hahaha. This also gives them some...

What a handsome boy! Congrats on the great molt!!

I just love Straws. I know they are a little harder to take care of, but I think they have wonderful personalities.

I haven't had any problems mixing my guys together. I have teeny crabs in with small, medium and even a large/jumbo guy. Everyone gets together really well, and quite honestly, the teenies kind of rule the roost!

Hey Gramm,

Not sure if you're still around. All you have to do is make sure you are typing in the blue colored area on the bottom of the screen then hit "Enter" on your keyboard...that's it!

How big is your tat?
