HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Yes that is my tank but that picture shows the shallow part. It's much deeper at edges. I will hold off the clean for a while longer I suppose. I don't however have another tank to set him up in. When I moved I had to leave them behind. I guess I'll turn the tank light off for a while so he can just...

Thanks sorry I forgot about that survey to do. I did it before when I had another question. I was on my phone so didn't think about it. The crab is currently in his shell. He has been sitting in a corner for days however. I am going to do a full clean thus week. I bought 3 new bricks of EE and some ...

Hello guys i have been having problems with one of my crabs. I found him last week in a corner with no shell and he seems very pale colored white. I put him in a container alone with 3 shells and he did end up getting in one. I let him eat and thought he was fine. However I found him again out his s...

Thanks for the quick replies guys

Makes me feel better

Hello I came home from work today and was about to replace the salt and fresh water for the crabs and was quite shocked to see this yellow fungus or mushroom thing growing...? Take a look? http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h238/wolf0491/hermit/IMG_20150321_205440.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/album...

I honestly still don't know what kind of crabs I have lol. Haven't taken the time to figure them out. Must have some e's because some don't seem to like it.
I had one crab sitting and chewing on carapace or something for like 4 hours though haha.
he brought it everywhere in the tank I think.

I think this moose poop is amazing! lol First thing I've done and got same result as everyone. Have one guy on top of it attacking it now. One took a chunk and heading to moss pit lol. Usually when I see people say there crabs do this mine never doo.. :/ lol Like running to marine salt water but the...

I was watching on youtube earlier how the sea hermit crabs fight over shells lol. Literally jump into them.

I been noticing that too. Some of my crabs been reaching in it but won't get in it

I'll try the boiling water to see what happens. I also found a huge lot of shells on ebay with like 100 shells I might order just to have extra shells for them. I can only recognize like 2 of my crabs now since they swap so much. The big one and the molted one. Other then that they all just confuse ...

Should I start looking for some new shells for my large crab? I've noticed that he spent an hour inspecting a shell last night then finally watched him get in it. After he got in he took about 30 seconds to run over and get right back in his old shell and got right back in. He then starting looking ...

Ok well he isn't weird but I'm not sure what he is doing. He at first was on his first shell. Then switched into bigger one that fit him better. Then immediately buried himself and was under the sand for a week and a half or so.. Then I had to move so I put the tank on the seat of my car to bring to...
