Painted Shells

Post by hermiwormi » Wed May 30, 2018 11:54 am

I have had one of my new crabs change into the Murex I showed before and I removed the painted shell from the enclosure. I have managed to scrape some of the paint off, but I'm not sure how to get the rest of it off.ImageImageImageImage

You should probably just throw it out.

To be perfectly honest and forthright.....it's just one shell. Unless you for some reason badly, BADLY need or require that shell, just chunk it. It's a perfectly average shell and you are better off without the burden of scrubbing off all the paint. Personally, for me it would be a waste of time and energy when I could just order natural shells.
