Urchin Crab Hi guys- I experienced a fairly high reddish hermit crab, has actually black colored hairs, light areas and you may ties in a big Mexican turbo snail shell
Cool/coldwater Hermits Thanks Bob.
These Crabs Won’t Grab! Quick Question:
Thanks for all the help, Justin
my question is, I picked up a small “orange eyed” black urchin, and it looked like the crab was going after him last night. this morning I can’t find the urchin, but did see about 10 spine clippings in the sand were the hermit crab was. Are crabs natural Is it possible that the crab killed the urchin, or is it more likely the urchin is hiding? should I remove the crab? (the crab is ill tempered, eats all the snails and what not).

– Healing Hermit – Hi there, I have a red legged Hermit crab which I am https://datingranking.net/nl/parship-overzicht/ really worried about. He did he usual hiding before shedding. Disappeared into his nice little cave I made for him. He shed his skin late Friday night. I noticed he was hiding inside his shell on Sat. He usually remains grumpy for about a week after shedding. However on Sun he came out of his shell and was missing his big pincher and all his legs down the left side. I don’t know if one of the fish pulled him while he was weak or if he just decided it was a good time to loose his shell. I left him in the tank to reduce his stress however I noticed that some of the fish were bothering him. So I moved him into the sump. He seems to be fine and he is eating etc. I have knocked the calcium level a bit higher to give him more calcium to recover. Don’t know if this will help. Is there anything that I can do to help him heal faster. Thanks, Rob.
