HCA: Hermit Crab Association

In general, I wouldn't say Ecuadorians as a species are much more aggressive and territorial than any other species. They do seem to panic more easily when put into stressful situations (deep cleans, introducing new crabs to their crabitat, etc.). I do have one Ecuadorian who is just plain mean, bu...

I volunteer to go to Delaware to visit Bob and see his crabs and facilities if he's open to visitors :D It's not that far from where I am in NJ, a couple of hours or so... I will drop him a line to see if he's willing 8) Oh good! I hope that this settles the whole thing and gives us answers. http:/...

As for the next crab species we discover, I think without a doubt they will be "Raspberries", "Thimbleberries", "Boysenberries", "Loganberries", and "Blackberries". After that, we will discover the "As", "Eyes": "Os" and "Yus", followed by the "TTs" and "DDs". The furriest species will be the "Carp...

Maybe it's a variant?

I fixed the link for ya!!!

Thankies!

Idk maybe it's just me but from reading the brief description on it it sounds like bull to me....

But like I said we'll wait and see.

*Clicks on linky* ......that's funny. The link is broken. It's a shame because I wanted to check the site out and see what they have on there and to see what they say about ( if they say anything ) the "new species". Frankly for me it's a wait and see situation with alot of questions. http://i181.ph...

Ok now you see I had no clue that they named this one themselves. Now I've got questions. I have a bad habit of misreading or overlooking things and for that I'm sorry. On to the questions: 1. How did they come about naming this one? 2. Did they discover it and name it? 3. Where did the crab come fr...

March 1st

I want one.

And yes they're like yummy potato chips. You can't have just one. In my case it's Doritos so for me they're like Doritos......only I bet they don't taste as good. XD

*Looks at crab* KAWAII! I love you.

*Picks up jaw off floor*

NO FREAKING WAY!

That is one gorgeous crab. You sure someone didn't come in at night and made a switch or something with a Viola...? But she's BEAUTIFUL!

It would be an honor just to hold her.

Yeah that kinda of sucks that you can't cuddle with them. But they're still pretty and cute.

Fresh Water?! :shock: Like Jsrtist said where have you seen these? Because I live near Central Park and they have a lake there and they're all sorts of snails and bugs in there. And a guy that was fishing not to far from where I was sitting told me he caught a crayfish! So do you think there could b...

That's what I thought. My mom didn't know what they were so I told her that they're some species of Marine or Salt water hermies. But I didn't know what to do or what to feed them so they only lasted like 5 days. They were cute though. Now I know what to do if I ever get these again by accident. Tha...

Oh wow! Thank you. The ones that I had had blue legs. I for got the name of them but when I got them they were in a bag with water. I don't know if it was Salt water or Fresh water. That's something I've never thought about. Thanks a million for the links. I'm going to look through them completely t...

Sadly yes, Marine Hermies can be sold on Ebay...Personally I feel that it is not different than if you were to buy Aquarium supplies from on-line stores. Some are quite reputable and have a decent policy and Guarantee on the Livestock. I never knew that! I had gotten some of those by mistake when m...
