HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I can never get good shots of my Es, they are just so fast, and small and blend into the background so well. But recently I got some decent shots of the two who are up.

Gangplank

He thought he had a bridge of grass over the salt water dish which would hold his weight and let him not get his dainty feet wet.

But sometimes things seem like a good idea at the time-still holding on while dangling precariously above the water

KER-PLOP!

Gangplank to self: It's cool, nobody saw that.

Fifi never lets me get a good shot of her-I think she hates me.

And a couple of Salty just because she is so darn pretty!

Really good looking crabs! Lots of neat shells! That's a really bright straw you have too!

Very pretty, love the pics!

So beautiful! Do you edit your pics at all or are your Straws really that intense red?

Beautiful crabs and pictures! They all look amazing! I love your tank to, all that color between the plants and your crabs it's really eye catching!

Thanks everyone! Yes, I edit photos and I highly recommend it (even though it takes time). So many pics that I thought were throw-aways I was very happy with after I'd edited them, and I like doing it. I use this site: https://pixlr.com/editor/ and it allows me to crop, sharpen, change the contrast or color saturation, pretty simple stuff and LOVE it!

Here's a before and after example of Saltie.



Saltie is just as cute either way I think.

Still a very vivid red! And yes, cute either way I rarely edit pics that I take with my phone since I'm lazy, but I like to play around whenever I break out the "real" camera. Guess I should try it with the crabs sometime since I know it makes a big difference, if I ever get un-lazy.
