Hermit crab ? Fixing to buy some hermit crabs and I was wondering if there were any another animals I could put in the aquarium with them. Thanks!
A good Crab-Eat-Crab-Industry?
Just a swoop-login quick question. I just put 1 electric blue hermit crab into my 55 gallon tank. he is about an inch and a half to two inches long and was told by the local fish store that he was no danger to my several small (1/4 – 1/2 inch long) blue legged hermits. Please let me know if you see a potential problem with this situation. Thanks much, you guys are great.
I might continue an extremely personal attention on these crabs, and become ready to intervene if you see some one measurements up his tankmates to have a cake!
Hermit Shell fell inside of Open Brain coral Anthony and or Crew, Sorry about using the old e-mail, but I could not get my browser to work for some reason. I have just started to read „Book of Coral Propagation“ and both this web site, Bob’s, and yours books have been very helpful but I have not found anything about this particular problem. I just noticed after feeding the fish tonight that a hermit shell is inside of my Rose Brain (Trachyphyllia geoffroyi), I sure hope the coral had a nice meal? The hermit crab probably fell from the rock that is close by into the coral if I take my best guess. My question is should I go ahead an gently try and remove the shell or should I let the coral try and push it out?
I know Anthony I left the door open on that last part LOL. > I have also attached two pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Thanks for your help. be Smiling TTFN Sean
