I'd recommend finding more turbos. (Not gold mouthed.)

For aussies, this is not the case. The OP has a good selection IMO, my gang all hate turbos and so far no one has ever moved into a turbo (modified or not).

I totally missed the part where OP had Aussies.
Thanks JJ!
My E's will wear babylon or land fairy shells but never touched any tonna or harp shells.
Apologies to OP; I should have read more thoroughly.

Haha, no worries. I thought that may of been the case. No stress, we all know that there was no ill intent behind your post.

I took this picture when I had set up my new tank about a month ago, and half of my crabs were in the shell shop exploring. If you look closely, you might be able to find all 5 hermies in the photo! Good luck!

I agree, the other shells are way too big for her at the moment! Luckily my order for the Naples Seashell company is on its way, with some shells that'll be the perfect upgrade for her and Oreo

Also, thank you aussieJJDude for clarifying about which shells are good for Aussie crabs, as I wasn't entirely sure previously wether the selection of shells that I had were ok for them or not

It's all good! As long as you have a good selection, that's all you need to keep our little guys happy!
