HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I may take out my PPs soon and let them run around my room for 10 minutes or so. I usually don't handle my crabs, but it's been awhile. I do it about once every 2 months. If this is an issue, let me know, and I'll stop. Observing them is good enough

Wow, that is simply awesome! A few questions: how did you get the cholla and cork to stand straight up and not fall down? Is it supported with something that I just can't see? Also, you mentioned misting, and I can almost see the fog in the picture -- what are you using for misting/fogging the tat?...

Wow, this is awesome! I have bookmarked this page as I am in love with your crabitat. If I was to upgrade, I think my tank would be set up very similar to yours! :) With the 5:1 ratio, is it EE:sand or sand:EE? And if you're willing to share, how much did this cost you (roughly)? It's a ratio of fi...

The infantry arrived, lol

Man, I would have really loved to see that. I bet her crabs were huge!

Wow, thanks for telling me, Wode, that really puts it in a new light The gravel is what really threw me off. 38 years! I sure hope my crabs live that long. The lack of information is a valid point, I hadn't thought about it. And talk about dedication

Here's an old thread of mine:

Thanks, but just know that it took over a year and a bunch of hard work before I got it. Don't worry, you'll always be looking for an upgrade, and you'll eventually get there. There are still several tats that make me jealous, like Kuza's.

That's what I could find. It might not help, but I thought I would try

I just came across this. The woman appears to have had her crabs for 29 years, but the conditions are pitiful. I'm very, very confused.

Thoughts, opinions?

Here's my 90 gallon, but you already knew that

Thanks for the help. I know it's pretty flexible, so I really just like to hear people's personal opinions, especially those with exotics or large tanks.

I also created a thread called "How Many Crabs?" in crabitat conditions. Any help would be appreciated

Lol, I could never make something that nice. I bought it from Petsmart. I believe it's called a Bonsai tree, and it was about $25-30. I know other members have used it, and my crabs LOVE it. Funnily enough, though, I've seen I think EVERY single crab chilling on top of the cholla, almost like queen/...

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to use it
