HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Good tank conditions just my "healthy" hermit crab smells like the death smell.

Perhaps there's a piece of rotting food they stashed somewhere?

Yep, usually forgotten food.

I admit I've panicked over the 'deathsmell' but no, its just food. I have a serial food stasher. She hasn't done it in a while but only because she is buried

I put her close to my nose away from the tank and she smelt like dead fish, they haven't had seafood this week.

Could be some rotting food stuck in the shell? Possible bacterial infection of a wound that doesn't show? Is this smell new to the crab?

Is the crab active?
