On a side note, my Thin Striped Hermit is still getting bigger and I put in 10 new large shells into the enclosure and 25 additional small shells. He's loving the new large shells. He's popping on a new shell every other day and strutting around the tank like he's running fashion week. He's a diva and he's also the boss, although the halloween hermit is also pretty sizable and could also be a boss. The halloween hermit really likes conch shells though... so they have quite different tastes.

Couple recent shots of the Halloween Hermit. I really like the 2nd pic.


Here's a shot of the last guy to get added into the mix... The Green or Hidden Hermit... apparently from Hawaii. Seems he likes to climb and only goes to the ground to go house hunting.


On a final note the 2 Scarlet Hermits also seem to be doing well. They are by FAR the hardest species of hermit I've tried keeping. I think I've finally gotten the husbandry right... or the acclimation to a new enclosure. I think they are more sensitive to change than most hermit crabs... Here is a semi recent pic of one of them.

If anyone would like to see any other pics or video of the enclosure let me know. I have a lot more video than pictures. I could show the whole enclosure and all 8 species of hermit crabs. I also have at least 3 species of crabs and 2 species of shrimp in there as well... not to mention the many species of snails, corals and other animals.
