He didn’t have it earlier, and I noticed it after he had retracted into his shell.
It doesn’t move, and it’s super tiny.

Mites?
I was observing my crabs, and I saw this on one of my crabs.
He didn’t have it earlier, and I noticed it after he had retracted into his shell.
It doesn’t move, and it’s super tiny.

It’s the white dot on the left eyestalk, correct?
Have you added anything new recently? I don’t think that’s a hermit crab mite, since those normally need a hermie to travel in on.

Looks like a random food mite.

Well, whatever it was, it's gone now.
I do have baby isopods that JUST hatched, is that what it is?
