HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Yes, they do, a lot sometimes. To show dominance they might flick, or crawl on other crabs shells and sit on them.
I'm not sure if what your crabs are doing is dominating, they could just be becoming good friends.

Ahhh, so awesome!! I absolutly love 'tank in progress' posts!! I hope you keep posting pics of them!

Fresh coconut, apple, some crushed nuts (which they adore), some egg shells and a small shrimp.
