#hermitcrabs

So, this is my first time at a reef forum! I would like to see you guys toughts about my ideas for my tank!! My tank had a really rough phase this year.. but after that my water now is pretty much ready a for my project! I always wanted an anemone-only tank so after that rough time it was the...

Hello! I have a 3 year old blue legged hermit crab that has outlived its fellow buddies and grown quite large. I went to my local fish store and they have been giving me extra turbo snail shells for him, but for the past couple of months I haven’t been able to find a shell big enough for him...

We recently added a white clawed hermit crab, now named Sheldon, to our reef tank to help battle a hair algae problem. It’s a similar size to Dug, our tiger conch. However… not that I see them side by side, I’m concerned. Sheldon’s larger than Dug, but not by much. There’s not a lot out there...

Hi everyone! I recently bought some cerith snails to add to my CUC, and noticed soon after that this little guy was a stowaway (snail murderer!) Anyway, I have looked high and low on the internet to see about a pale gray/white saltwater hermit crab and have been unable to find any that look like...

Hi there, I have had a blue leg hermit for about 3 months in which time he vanished, moulted and reappeared. This morning I have discovered that his shell is empty and he does not seem to be occupying any of the other shells that I had put in the tank for him to be able to move into. He is...

3 crustaceans out of the 7 I have in my 60 gallon FOWLR tank molted today. It’s possible that others did and I didn’t see the exoskeletons. Is this cause for alarm???

Hey guys, recently I have been looking at different types of "critters" to keep in my reef tank and I wanted to see what the reef2reef community mambers are keeping. I was wondering what strange inverts you guys have in your reef tanks that do not get much recognition(from the reefing community)...

hey guys i was just thinking about upgrading my clean up crew soon. i currently have 2 small hermits and 1 large cleaner shrimp (30 gallon tank about 20 lbs live rock). I was wondering if it'd be cool to add 1 more small hermit and 2 small nassarius snails at the same time? if no, why not? just...

Hello! I've been reading this forum for a while now, and am new to the hobby (well, new to salt and reef tanks... been running simple freshwater tanks for most of my life.) I've been slowly building my Display Tank for a few months now, and just added in a CUC from reefcleaners today. I...
