New crab adopted today

Post by HeathMcCrab » Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:17 pm

Hello everyone!

I rescued this guy from a local pet store - he looked like he needed a good crabitat, and I couldn't leave him there. He's cloudy eyed and clumsy. ImageImage
What kind is he? Do you think his eyes will clear after a molt?

Hello,
This cute little guy looks like a purple pincher. His eyes should clear after a molt :)

I'm not a hermit crab expert, but this is most likely a purple pincher or Ecuadorian, I have an Ecuadorian, so I think yours is a purple pincher.

Hope everything goes well,
Bonnie

Good luck with him! I hope you get a good molt and healthy crab! You have a big heart to go for the underdog

Awe, poor baby! It's definitely a PP, with a healthy molt and a good diet, his colors will show back up in no time! Good luck to him!
