hermit crab

Just heard a fairly loud "clack" from the tank, like a shell hitting the glass. Walked over and see my tiger conch scooting away from two hermits, one of which was on it's back and was struggling to right itself. I figured it was a big of aggression, maybe the hermits trying to mug the conch for...

I came home for work today and I found my largest hermit crab presumably dead next to my pulsing Xenia. I have 5 total and that was the biggest with bigger shells for him to inhabit. The fish are happy, pulsing Xenia and GSP are happy looking. Multiple zoa frags are open. Other hermit crab seem...

I overbought CUC for my reef. I can spare 3 large Mexican Turbo snails, 2 large nassarius snails, 3 trochus snails and 4 blue legged hermit crabs. Send me a note if interested.

Just added 4 new hermit crabs. They all were immediately active after putting them in the tank. Couple hours later this guy stopped moving and I saw a pink worm looking thing come out of his shell. Now he appears to be slowly evacuating the shell. What is the pink worm thing crawling on his...

Hello everyone. I got a new hermit crab recently from PetCo, he or she is a “zebra” hermit crab. He has taken a liking to my Haitian Anemone. Constantly next to it, under it, or cuddling it. Is this normal and okay?

Hey Yall, I have an interesting question, and I was wondering if I could get some input on it. So I had five hermit crabs in my 15gal Fluval flex, and it's been around three months since I added them. About a month ago, around December 20th, they just slowly started disappearing for no obvious...

So this one of my hermit crabs likes to climb the edges of the tank and chill at the top. Is there a reason why he does this? He ends up falling down eventually and is fine but I’m just confused as to why he does this.

Soooo….I’m one of those people who sometimes succumbs to “omg I have to have it now because I never will see it again” and this new side quest for treasure suddenly diverts me from my main quest (and as always, since side quest is quick and high reward, who doesn’t take that quest and runs with...

What are the best hermit crab species that actively eat algae and help with things like GHA and diatoms? They also need to be small and reef safe. My snails don't do much.

My name is Ghost. The video above features one clip or photo from all 365 days I have been imprisoned. Watch me grow! I was once a small crustacean larva living in the Yucatán Caribbean Sea. I found a tiny beautiful shell, but the next thing I know I was out of the sea. Looking around, I...

Is it odd that a good number of my inverts all molted at the same time? I’ve found a cleaner shrimp molt, coral banded molt, and 3 hermit molts today.

I got a few blue legged hermit crabs for my reef tank but I see a few that arnt blue legged and I can’t ID them. So could anyone help me with IDing these hermit crabs? They have black claws with white dots and black legs with a single stripe on the side.

The crabs I will be considering include the true crabs (Brachyura) and some "crabs" from Anomura, including hermit crabs (Paguroidea) and porcelain crabs (Porcellanidae). Horseshoe crabs (Limulidae) will be excluded. Over the years, I have heard mixed reports on how "reef-safe" crabs are in the...

Hello! I am on this forum for a different reason. I am a land hermit crab owner. I have a 200 gallon aquarium with a 10 gallon saltwater pool inside. I am one of the few people who have been able to breed land hermit crabs, but I have no been successful in getting them from the water to land...

So it’s about time I share some stuff I’ve been doing here… This is far from a success, but I’m pretty sure improving. I have a DT that is not included in this process. I have a nano that sits in my son’s bedroom and that amazes him (2yo). Some months ago I decided to try to make some...

HELP! I started a new tank and added a melanurus wrasse, cleaner shrimp, and 8 blue leg hermit crabs, along with some other fish and coral. The shrimp was dead a few days later, and i’m now finding empty shells and hermit crab legs all over the sand bed. I know it was the wrasse, and I know...
