HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi Folks, there are currently 8 people that I am aware of with zoea/mega or baby crabs on land in Australia at the moment.
I am the latest of them with a spawn on 2nd January. Roughly 320 zoea. They are now in my custom built kriesel and have had their first moult/shed so are at Zoea II stage.

Others are Darineen Burgess, Jodie Hebbard, Corina Headrick, Tiffany Boer and Kristie & Ellie Bertrand.

Not sure how many of them are in this forum but thought I would share anyway.

That's so exciting!! Thank you for the update and good luck to all trying.

Day 5 (of 14or so for Aussies) and they are all still alive. Nitrite/Nitrates are both quite high when testing but Ammonia is zero. They don't seem to be bothered by the high readings. No deaths that I've noticed so far. Mega tonight or tomorrow I am expecting.

That's so exciting to hear your success so far! Post pictures if you get a chance.

Hello, I’m new here!
I’ve been able to get approx 100 to land so far. I’m hoping they continue to thrive. I’ve joined up to try and get more info in how to care for so many tiny babies. Thank you for accepting me!
