HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi I am new to the site , but not exactly new to hermit crabs
I don't have photos of them all we just upgraded from 60g to a 190 so my tank looks quite empty but as all good things in life are it is a work in progress .

I hope you enjoy the photos ,
I will post a few at a time as my PC panics when i give it to much work to do .

the home , I had to take the photo from the other side of the room as its to big to fit in lol , the other pics show more detail .

so far I have almost 600lbs of sand and just over 6 bricks of ee , and several bags of moss and oyster shells


from left to right

now for the actual crabs
this is midnight one of the violas ,


Vermillion

Ribena - adopted after someone won him at the Kansas state fair , he seems to be a gentle giant

PickE - took him almost a year of shell shpping and sleeping sticking out of his shell before he picked a new one


and this is my crazy boy! Big Red , in the year and a half hes been with me the only time hes not been running around has been when hes been down molting, other than that he is a 24/7 active crab ! and he would seem to like having his photo taken as he seems to pose when the camera comes out ,
(i don't normally hold any of them this photo was taken as i was moving him to his new tank , )

big red

THIS USED TO BE WoodE because of the color but after this photo and that he looks like hes saying please sir can i have some more ? ive now re named him Oliver Twist .

im not sure if this pp is ribiena or my other big pp ,



this is teeny , another "adoption" from someone who didn't want him



i have others , just no photos .. i will work on getting more photos .

Looking good so far! Beautiful crabs too.

Amazing colored hermies jealous!

Just looking at the crabitat gets me into a "Margaritaville" mood -- flop into a lounge chair on that lovely beach, adult beverage in hand, ready to soak up some rays !

All the crabs are simply beautiful, so colorful and healthy, but I think my favorite is the newly rechristened Oliver Twist.

What beautiful crabs! Midnight is especially beautiful!!

I am SO JEALOUS of your jewel colored crabs! They're stunning! I can't wait to start mine!

Wow, all so beautiful! I look forward to the work in process & some more crabby pics! Who doesn't like craby pics?
