HCA: Hermit Crab Association

The crabs will probably rip it apart before that happens

Good Idea!

I noticed a couple wires in one of the pics you just posted, a little worried here, will the crabs be able to get to them?

Wooooooooo she's coming along! Can't wait for the final product. It's gonna be beautiful!



P.S. You doing the 5:1 Sand/Eco-Earth Ratio?

Wow, I had no idea that EE was a menace to molters? I guess that explains why my E died during molting (he had shed all his skin and had eaten mist of his Exo, but I guess he was just down too long and the EE did something to his soft skin...

Tank is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Oh and maybe put some moss on the foam walls after you put the soil on it, make it look more jungly and help that Humidity

So, gonna use that "Great Stuff Expanding Foam"? They use it in Marine tanks.....I think and fish/crabs etc. munch on 'em with no bad effects. So they're good And of course, get some black silicone, put it on the side of the tank FIRST (don't want that ugly white/yellow mess. Then put Eco-Earth on t...

Wow, sounds like Bob's doing everything right, good on him!
PM me pictures, us Canadians can be trusted

I'm going to try calling ELHC tomorrow, ask about Canada, and the species and maybe an update on the Spinosis. But come on guys. This thread was supposed to be about talking about this "new" species that was found. I thought we'd be talking about the crab, not the seller. But really guys, this threa...
