HCA: Hermit Crab Association

for some reason I can not find a suction cup caddy that isn't huge. like 9x5x5, i hate going in walmart because it gives me anxiety since it's always packed but I think I may have to this weekend.

I have 4 guys up now, 2 down. I'd like to id them (the ones up). so i will take photos, can you let me know if there's anything I need to take a photo of or if one general crab picture per crab will work. I will probably take photos tomorrow unless they go back down.

I want to make my guys a MOSS pit because I've heard others talk positively about it. Can anyone give me more details of theirs? A pic of it in the tank would help tons to give me an idea of where to put it. I am looking up the moss i bought, so let me know if it's okay to use or if i should use a d...

How do you get mites?can they ride in on new crabs? food? sand?

I saw 4 today and 3 are still up so I guess they are destressing, I don't know if they were down long enough to molt. The two I haven't seen are the largest one, who was the last one down, and the fancy shell guy, who was the first down, and I suspect he could be molting because he went into a shell...

All 6 are down now. Not sure who is molting and who is destressing. three have been down 4 days and two went down last night, and one in between there. I didn't expect the big one to go down but he did last night. One is only partially down but he's been like that for 4 days. They've all closed off ...

Well 24 hours after going under he came back up. So while he was up I took them out and wanted to mix their sub to make sure it was a good consistency, added a bit of water, and now 4 are under and 2 are digging. Not sure where the two are that are under because there's two open holes they don't app...

I have cling wrap but only covering half, and it doesn't stick as well as I'd like. I will cover more. I have been worried about how my a/c would be effecting them, I live in the south and some days it's running hard to cool the house and I didn't want that to suck out their moisture. Can a lot of a...

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!Right after I posted this I went to have a peek and the guy who moved into the big shell moved out of his hut and into the other hut. BUTOne crab is missing. and there is a pile of sand that looks like he could be under there. no visible hole but obviously someone dug a lot there i...

I am new to crabs and I have 6 and I am nervous about the first molt. I have read the signs to look out for and I have looked up photos of molting. I still am not sure what to expect.If I go to bed and one decides to molt what will I wake up to? Will the crab be underground and will I see a hole whe...
