HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Just finished my new 55 gallon crab tank today and wanted to share some pictures. It took me about a week to set up and get ready for the crabs to move in. They are loving all the new climbing space and new cholla I got them. They have a moss pit and a shell bin up in the corner and two cork bark logs.

Wow, it looks amazing, I like it

Looks good! I love all the cholla.

Love it! I think I might be ordering more cholla just from looking at this heh

[Edit] 2pm; totally just ordered a couple more pieces [/Edit]

Looks awesome! Like the others said, the cholla looks great in there.

Thanks!! I got all the cholla from The Hermit Crab Patch!! It's all beautiful!! My hermits LOVE Cholla!!

They unfortunately don't ship to Canada. I found an eBay store that does, but unfortunately the longest they sell is around 4-6 inches

Your enclosure looks great.

If you cant find any longer pieces that can be shipped to you, maybe you can attach a few pieces together with zip ties or craft wire to make longer pieces. I also have a piece of Zoo Med African Mopani Wood I got from Amazon, but have seen in pet shops too. Maybe your local pet shops might carry this? My hermits love this and fight over who gets to sit on it.

I will definitely keep that in mind, and an eye out for the mopani wood! Thanks!

I love it! The cholla wood looks like a hermit crab jungle gym! If I were a crab, I would love playing on it all day. It looks awesome! I'm hoping to upgrade soon, but I need to buy a car, so it may be a while until I can afford an upgrade.

It looks amazing!

What a great set up! Holy chola !


Crabbing for 2 years-still obsessed! 6 total crustacean kids. Gave up trying to tell them apart but I love them all.

Very nice!
