HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Nice to see another Ohio crabber, can I ask where you got all these little guys? They're adorable! On the first one I would say scaevola or ruggie because of the antenna. I'm definitely leaning more towards scaevola based on the eyes though. On the second I am not quite sure.... could you get a for...

I'm located in Ohio. Sadly I have no pictures of Clyde but he looked like a stockier version of Bonnie. I also have a small steel blue/grey colored crab named Casper who has the same orange antenna.

The screen lid has box tape on it with the sticky side facing out of the tank as s...
