I cannot for the life of my find them anywhere!
Anyone have any recommendations on where to find them?
My crab is now too snug for his 2inch and he will only wear turbos.

Maybe Ebay, Etsy, a vendor of the shopping resources page:

Good luck!

Pics of crab? What is the opening size? It is pretty uncommon for a captive crab to be large enough for a 2.5-3" opening.

He is currently in a 2" opening, we've had him for 7 years so he's pretty huge!

Awesome!
Check out mygann on etsy/ebay/amazon. Naples would be more expensive; I paid like $16 for one pearled turbo in a 2" aperture a couple of years ago and it was too large for any of my crabbos. I actually sold it to another forum member.

Awesome, thank you guys! I'll have to take a look! shells of aquarius told me to look at fox shells, so I'm thinking I might try and see if Apollo likes those but from the time he was about the size of a silver dollar to now, he only wears turbos! My friends are always amazed at how big he is and he is my most timid crab!
