HCA: Hermit Crab Association

One of my crabs has been sitting on the shelf in the corner for over a week. Doesn't seem to move. The other day I finally took him out to see if he was alive and he was. I decided to place him in the moss pit on the other side of the tank. If he was hungry he could nibble on the moss. A very short time later he climbed out of the pit and made his way back to that corner where it looks like all he does is sleep.

Crabs are just weird. And who knows what all they have stored in their shell. Might not have to move for a month. LOL

Haha. That's true.

Yes, crabs are weird. My Brevi likes to sit in the corner of the tank and watch my box turtle in her tank. He does that all day.

I ended up turning on their 2nd heater at the other end of the tank. Lo and behold, he moved over and even had a really long drink of saltwater. Even though the heat was pretty much at 77 I guess he likes it warmer.

Picky little beggars, aren't they? LOL

I have always found my crabs to be extremely active with the warmer temps I keep my tanks between 80-85
