HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Oh wow I have also had a problem, I ordered some 3/4 inch shells for the smaller crabs to get them out of the painted ones and they gave me 1 inch shells

Looks nice. How many gal?

Yay! It's so great you got one to land naalide!

They should be safe, make sure to clean them before you put them in the crab intact though.

I am looking into getting some exotic species. I know how to care for them but how many gallons does beach one need?

Ok, thanks 0123missy

I have a hermit crab named Spike and he did the same thing when he was small. He came back up fine but I honestly thought he was dead. If it were me, I would leave him. If he doesn't come back up soon I would do what KellyCrabbieLove said.

I wish my local pet store aphid jumbos! Her colors are gorgeous! & such a unique name

Aww she/he's such a cutie! I have a hermit named Happy aswell

Ok great! It's amazing how some hermit crbs are not shy when you get them from the pet store from what they've gone through!

Where did you get that coral decoration? Is it real or fake?

Is he/she limp at all? How high is your humidity & temp?

I would keep it. In my opinion "Ivory" sounds like it could be both genders

I have literally bought 2 dead hermit crabs before. When I returned one once the worker pulled him out of its shell If the hermit crab you have smells fishy or if it's limp he will be dead..

From what I heard people use feathers from their pet birds and just put it in. But I don't know about bird feathers you find out side
