Does anyone have an idea about the best habitat I can buy for under 200 to 300?

unfortunetly i descovered him hanging out of his shell when i got home today. i checked to see if he was moving like yesterday and nothing. no reaction and there was the smell of rotting fish. i decided to bury him out in my backyard just a few minutes ago. RIP bumblebee..

One of my Hermit crabs dropped two big legs and his big pincher and im not sure how to take care of him. he doesnt move around very often and stays hidden out in the open all day long. does anyone know how to take care of this??? edit: i think i let my tank get below 70 deg Fahrenheit for a few days...

I'm a little lazy sometime so I feed them mostly pelets. I feel bad for them so I want to try to get them some natural food from the hermit crab patch and maybe a bag of shells

I just discovered that one of my crabs has really short antennae.... Will he be okay? Can he tell if there's food for him?

Does anyone know the best way to decorate a tank? Should I use plastic plants? Should I use big rocks? I want to give My crab something to hide under other than the piece of cardboard I'm currently using

Thanks he's really active right now... I can't wait till I can get him a companion or 2

Also I know this might be a bad idea, but I dug him up to see if he was alive. He was alive. Just buried under 3 inches of sand. My mom took me to PetCo and the lady that works with hermit crabs said that he 6 inches of sand was way too much. She said that I should put only enough sand so that I cou...

Could you smell a dead crab under 3+ inches of sand?
