Steven Expert, Are you on Philippines? It does not stink but it smells like a rock from the ocean (hehe of course and here it originated). If it will not stink manage We still need to remove they? I absolutely want to get particular to have my personal container but We do not know in the event it can also be go on my bottom pebbles due to the fact that isn’t sand therefore i don’t just take one having today. Does it survive my base gravel in the event it’s not as fine since the sand exactly what it was applied also? However, I’m not sure if they’re reef safe. However, I am able to perhaps not find this type of hermit crabs on the crabs webpages.

Just a couple of are usually here and therefore are not reef safer. The remainder possess black colored base that have silver areas that have red-colored (perhaps maroon) antennae and two blue absolutely nothing antennae. Will they be reef safer as well? They don’t order sign up for. All of them need certainly to consume something. It is just a question of if we well worth what they consume. They’ll eat some thing they show up around the that they can consume easily. When the food is abundant, they might hop out their snails by yourself. For people who habit an excellent husbandry and do not has actually pain in the neck alga and you may uneaten eating every-where, the crabs can be starving and turn to most other victim items. I desired when planning on taking the fresh material in addition to shrimp, however, We already have a good banded coral shrimp and that while i include other shrimp of the same kinds they could fight.

It is including a stone farm

I didn’t remember that this type of shrimps also reside in extremely shallow seas on the merely 3 feet deep. I really have to get back here and just have some even more stones and many invertebrates. And tend to be 100 % free! I.) So the hermit crabs may not be reef safe unless of course provided securely? Villagers along with take care of this type of stones market these to other LFS here in the new Philippines. Or even want the trouble of collecting rocks you can aquire it there. But if you want totally free just ensure you get your very own free-of-charge in addition they dont notice. It would be unusual for all the bodies not to have certain version of control in position.

There’s a tiny LFS here that offer fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you may alive stone

Hermit Crab Hello those who couldn’t make it to MACNA. <> One maiotaku-bureaublad of my (saltwater) hermit crabs was upside down in his shell looks for something like a few days and now his claws are missing. It looks like he only has two legs right now and is definitely unable to move with his huge shell (he got greedy in getting a new home). What should I do with him until he can grow he claws back, which I am assuming will take a few molts at least? Would it be better if I keep him in the main tank, the sump/refugium <>, or quarantine tank?? How should I feed him, or at least he has access to food?? <> Thanks, Kim

Red Slime Algae Hi Bob, Haven’t written in quite some time. I have a case of Red Slime Algae. I’ve neglected my tank over the summer (I’ve been a bad boy) and now I’m going to remedy it through large water changes every week. I know what needs to be done, but I’ve seen claims from a few “sellers” that Red Leg Hermits eat red slime algae. Have you ever seen this? Thanks, Tony
