Steven Professional, Are you regarding Philippines? It doesn’t stink nevertheless smells like a rock out of the ocean (hehe obviously that’s where they originated in). When it does not stink do I still need to treat it? I really want to get some to possess my personal tank but I don’t know whether or not it is also live on my personal base gravel since it is not sand so i failed to grab people to own today. Does it go on my personal base pebbles even in the event it’s far less okay due to the fact mud just what it was utilized too? But I’m not sure if they are reef safer. But I can perhaps not see such hermit crabs on your own crabs webpages.

Simply two of them are indeed there and generally are maybe not reef safe. The others provides black feet which have silver places with reddish (perhaps maroon) antennae as well as 2 blue absolutely nothing antennae. Will they be reef safe also? They will not buy remove. All of them have to eat some thing. It is merely a question of whether or not i really worth whatever they eat. They will consume anything they are available across the that they can eat effortlessly. If the food is numerous, they could leave the snails by yourself. For folks who behavior a great husbandry and do not enjoys pain in the neck alga and you may uneaten dining everywhere, your crabs might be hungry and you will turn to almost every other target factors. I wanted when planning on taking brand new stone and the shrimp, however, We curently have a beneficial banded coral shrimp singleparentmeet mobiel hence whenever i create various other shrimp of the identical variety they could challenge.

It truly is eg a stone ranch

I did not know that these types of shrimps along with live in very low waters on simply step three base deep. I absolutely need certainly to come back indeed there and also specific more rocks and many invertebrates. And are usually totally free! We.) Very the hermit crabs may not be reef safer except if fed properly? Villagers including look after these rocks market these to some other LFS in the fresh new Philippines. If you don’t wish to have the issue from get together rocks you can get it there. But if you wanted totally free simply get your individual for free and they dont notice. It could be uncommon the authorities not to have certain sorts of control in position.

There was a small LFS here one to offer fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you may live material

Hermit Crab Hello those who couldn’t make it to MACNA. <> One of my (saltwater) hermit crabs was upside down in his shell looks for something like a few days and now his claws are missing. It looks like he only has two legs right now and is definitely unable to move with his huge shell (he got greedy in getting a new home). What should I do with him until he can grow he claws back, which I am assuming will take a few molts at least? Would it be better if I keep him in the main tank, the sump/refugium <>, or quarantine tank?? How should I feed him, or at least he has access to food?? <> Thanks, Kim

Red Slime Algae Hi Bob, Haven’t written in quite some time. I have a case of Red Slime Algae. I’ve neglected my tank over the summer (I’ve been a bad boy) and now I’m going to remedy it through large water changes every week. I know what needs to be done, but I’ve seen claims from a few „sellers” that Red Leg Hermits eat red slime algae. Have you ever seen this? Thanks, Tony
