HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I think you're fine then!It's only too many if for some reason you can't or don't want to take care of them.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I never did try a solvent on the shells that I think have been coated/shellac-ed. I still think they have a coating of some sort on them even though it doesn't seem to be coming of. I put a bunch of them into the tanks before I became suspicious and the crabs all seem...

Their shipping was very slow for me.One thing to potentially be aware of: Some of the polished shells I got from Deltona look like they've been shellac'ed. They are super shiny and seem to be coated. I know that some shells coming out of foreign countries are being shellac'ed. I've got a couple of t...

Wow! You got your order quickly. Mine was rather large--that might be why it took so long.I got a nice mixture of sizes in my kilo of turbos, but most were smalls and a few mediums.

A good number of shells are buried in each tank. I try to keep 10-15 empty, clean shells available at all times, but I've been running out. Until this order came in, I would just boil and rotate the unclaimed shells every couple of weeks. Every time I did that, a few would change and I'd be able to ...

@Dylan again--Yeah, I have quite a few crabs. LOL!A lot of the bulk shells I bought are too small for my crabs, so I will probably be passing those along. With 85 or so crabs--I finally might have 3 shells per crab now--maybe even a few extra. This is my 4th or 5th order of this size from various co...

@Dylan--I ordered 3 of these...but what I got is bigger than what is listed.http://deltonaseashells.com/inc/sdetail/157/694I noticed that these are even bigger, and only $14.00 each--not too, too bad.http://deltonaseashells.com/inc/sdetail/157/186232or these for 9.95 each:http://deltonaseashells.com...

@Cierra--I didn't mean to insult you. It was not a dumb question--a newbie question maybe, but not dumb!

Yes...they are natural shells some polished and some not. Natural turbo shells have MOP on the inside

I got my order from Deltona today. As much as I'd like to say I'm disappointed, I'm not. I'm very happy with the quality of the shells and the price. Here is my order--minus 7 broken shells that were in a bulk bag. Of the broken ones 2 are savable. The shells in the lower right corner are huge...ten...

Good to know! Thanks for the information. I only feed my gang organic or wild harvested.

I placed my order to Deltona on June 1st. Today is June 17th and the order is still not packed and shipped. This far exceeds their estimated one week delay during the "busy season" which they conveniently (for them) do not say when exactly that is...Even if these shells come gold clad, this will pro...

Question...When you compared them to MRH did you compare price and selection and organic to organic?All of MRH's inventory is organic. I noticed that MBSC sells both.

Great save, literally.She looks good.
