HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I have to have tank decor half buried in my sand, tied town to the tank, zip tied to each other or siliconed to something else my Es will dismantle everything in a few days. Its awesome because they are active for days at a time. they are just a bit high maintenance. These guys are too cute! So far...

Idk how I am just seeing this but this is so legit. Is the spray enamel safer than silicone or did you use silicone after? Have the crabs managed to get into the mesh wiring behind the cork bark board at all? Lets see.... it’s been ages since I’ve updated. I need to post some pics. Not a lot has ch...

I just now found this thread to reply on! [emoji4] Hello, this is so cool! I hope you had successful outcomes with it, no tank trashing :) I always wanted an elegant setup that is like this, but my crabs are too unaware to care about not trashing everything! Everything would be wrecked in a few wee...

I got them from a beach shop [emoji45] I was sure they were Ruggies and they looked healthy. I could not imagine leaving them there. Sorry for the grainy pic...

Is this little crab a Ruggie?

Thank you, Giner! I'm a super attentive caregiver...forrrr about a week. Then some switch flips and I get itchy and cranky and distracted and go a little bonkers if I don't get out and see the world. I have no idea how full-time caregivers do it. They get massive props from me. I remember when my k...

This is so neat to follow!! Keep coming with the updates. Go little guys go!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you Giner13! It's nice to get a little feedback. I was starting to think I was shouting into the wilderness. I'm definitely more inspired to share updates when I know someone cares...

So I knew I had seen signs of him using it, but FINALLY caught him in the act!!! Plus at least the 9th shell change...[emoji171][emoji171][emoji23][emoji23] Wish I could post the video of him walking!! Apparently this wheel has grooves for him to use! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170605/2deea...

I have some funny/cute pics of them Dorking around. Stitch actually fell asleep with her but in a bigger shell. She was like that for four hours. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170529/119cce72d942972bf70ccf668042e7fd.jpg Thing one didn't understand how a coconut could be suspended like that htt...
