HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Aw man that's awesome! I'm going out of town for the weekend but now I'm really tempted to swing by and see if they'll hold him for me. It's a mom and pop exotics shop, yeah. They get Es, staws, and blueberries on occasion, but I've never seen any other species. Edit: Managed to convince the husbeas...

Found this little dude hanging out in the PP tank at the local store. I've never seen a PP with such red eyestalks and antennae, though! Sorry I couldn't get pictures of the big claw/shield leg.

Either way he's a cutie and I'm tempted to go back for him.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll get him out of there asap.

Edit: He re-shelled almost immediately. Thank you!
