I have one of those shells my hermit crabs won't touch it.

How did you get your hermit crab to use that shell?

They've always used these type of shells even though I have other types in the tank. After 2 moults they just go for these same type shells. I found they will change shells then go under to moult. Here's Shy Guy with a similar shell...

Very cute!

I find some smaller PPs like those shells. Larger ones tend to go more for turbos but there are exceptions. :) My Mallorn was in a very large murex when I got him but he had switched to a jade turbo pretty quickly and never went back. I don't think I've had any other larger PPs show an interest. They wear what they'll wear. ;)
