Lots and LOTS of calcium!
So, 4 of my 6 are under. The 2 i have topside are devouring the honey coral calcium powder like thieves! One is on the bigger side of mediums, and the other is small... both PPs. I just ordered a batch last week and i'm already considering ordering more. I fill the dish up, and within 2 days, if not 1, they are scraping the bottom of the dish... I'm assuming it means they're getting ready to go under too?

I don’t know but my 2 topsiders have been in the calci dish EVERY night...I am refilling that dish more than their dinner dish and I put quite a bit in the calci dish!

Re: Lots and LOTS of calcium!
Did they end up going under? Also, not sure if you have any cuttle bones in your tank, but they're super cheap and a great source of calcium! Mine has lasted 4 months and I'm just replacing it now. Granted, I went from 2 crabs to 4 with alternate molts, so not all were nibbling it at once, but they all seem to love it.

I took the cuttlebone out to use for my isopods, but when it was in there they loved it. The honey coral calcium powder from the hermit crab patch is their FAVORITE
