HCA: Hermit Crab Association

her legs also arent working properly and she smells strange. my halloween crabs also cannot fully submerge their body in water. I think my dad failed to get the right setup for my tank in a few ways when he gave them to me. There isnt enough substrate and i havent been able to afford more. i feel li...

I know nothing about this type of crab, but presume the needs are similar as far as substrate, heat, humidity, and diet. It does not look like you have enough substrate for such a large crab. What are your tank conditions? What do you feed it? How large is the tank? Edited to add - Please fill in t...

https://flic.kr/p/2hsUHDA I dont know why this is happening she's blown normal bubbles before but not like these frothy rabies bubbles. She's in her salt water.

I wish I knew what hair product this crab uses because look at that shine

This is a really interesting thread. As a primary care provider for humans, I find it fascinating to learn about health concerns of other species! I recall from a previous thread, that you are using all EE for sub, FinalxFantasy. Back in June you had a crab going naked, and your sub was only 2 inch...

I'm not seeing shell rot. I'm seeing three really bad molts that can likely be traced back to a substrate issue. That last one with the odd white spots is what happened to mine when I had too much salt in the substrate and they got chemical burns. The middle one looks like what happens when sand or...

So smol *pets fuzzy crab stomach*

At an entomology camp I was walking on a trail through the woods with other people my age. I found this millipede on the trail in front of me and I kept it because some kids had kill jars and I also didn't know how experienced these other people were with keeping aquarium pets. I believed someone wo...
