HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I bought two more PPs yesterday and they are much bigger than my other three. However... One of my smaller guys is totally starting crap!
Last night he (blue) jumped on the biggest new crab (named Epic) and was pushing him around. Epic got a tired of his crap and pushed him away and got outta there. So then Blue decided to pick on the other new big crab (sokka- it's Japanese lol) my sister swears they switched shells and then switched back... I didn't see this so I'm not 100% positive she's not crazy.
If he is picking on other crabs I guess the only thing I can do is make sure I have more shells to choose from? Any other ideas?
Any good ideas where to get a lot of shells for a good price?

This sounds like normal dominance displays. But it never hurts to offer more extra shells. Just keep a close eye on them at this point and be sure to load up the food dish with a lot of good food, especially proteins.

I'm glad you said that- I only thought that he was looking for different shells. I will deff put some high protein foods in there. I kinda love making little snacks for them!
