Mystery crab
This morning I discovered a 9th hermit crab in my crabitat, I've had most of these crabs for years so it's not like I just lost track of one. The crab is missing both claws and only has two and a half legs. Two days ago I bought and added a zoomed hermit crab shell (the ones they sell packaged) to my crabitiat and just last night I noticed one of my larger crabs trying it out for the first time. The crab I discovered judging by the width of his body was a medium to large size crab, but now looks much smaller without his claws or legs so it is possible he was hiding down in that shell. I did rinse the shell out before I put it in but not too throughly, just enough to get any dirt that might have been on it out.

Re: Mystery crab
Strange!
Is it getting around alright or do you feel that iso'ing is in order until he molts and regrows those limbs?
