HCA: Hermit Crab Association

i was looking around on etsy a bit and saw a food mix labeled to supposedly "enhance" the hermits colors. i have not heard of this before, and couldnt find anything on it. the shop had no reviews, so i wasnt sure if it was completely legit or not. anyone know if its safe?

Food can enhance your crabs color, but it is mostly due to genetics. Are the ingredients listed? If not, I would not buy. If they are, you can look at the safe foods list and see if the ingredients are safe. Personally I would stick with food that has good reviews.

Foods won't make a big difference in crab color, despite what some people will tell you to get you to buy their products.
