Yes! A Ruggie. Indos haven't been available for years now, and such a large percentage die within the first 2 to 4 years that I'm not even sure who still has any. wolfnipplechips was the last I knew of, but I'm honestly not sure if she still has hers. Thanks for the help with IDing! Shame about the...

As per title, would really appreciate if someone could help me with IDing this guy, though I highly suspect he's a ruggie. Also, I could use some advice on my sole brevimanus crab - since IDing him somewhen in August last year, he has literally doubled in size from being a small cutie to an absolute...

I have no clue either. I don't think he's eating it out of a calcium defiency either, I include calcium powder and eggshells in their diet.

I got a new hermit crab, but was wondering what species he was. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

I have quite a large rounded pumice rock that I've placed in my hermit crab tank for them to climb on (figured that the porous surface would make it suitable to climb on). It has been in my tank for a few months now. However, today I noticed one of my hermit crabs breaking off small chunks of pumice...
