Shell shops are seagrass baskets from Wal-Mart's bath section.

Your isopods live pretty great lives! I'm sure you will have a lot in a very short time. haha But seriously, even though I'm late to the party-I'm loving your new arrangement. It looks really good! :D

Gorgeous setup! You've given me some ideas for my own tat :) I like the netting on the sides. Do the crabs climb it often or is it more for decoration?

Thanks! Net and vines are a big hit in my tank. I haven't added my vines back yet (also acts as coverage). Really need to find the time to do it... The main purpose of rearranging was to make room for the new hamster wheel. It's been in there for a week now and haven't seen them use it yet.

Don't give up hope! Mine took to them in one day. I think Kermie's took a little time. I have a step stool leading to mine. At first I used a pinecone, and now I have coral like rocks I found at the beach. :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
