Steven Expert, Will you be in the Philippines? It doesn’t stink it has the aroma of a stone off the ocean (hehe obviously that is where it originated from). If it cannot stink manage I still have to eradicate they? I truly want to get certain for my personal tank but We do not know if this is also go on my bottom pebbles just like the this isn’t mud and so i did not just take one to possess now. Will it live on my personal bottom gravel even though it’s a lot less good since sand exactly what it was used as well? But I am not sure when they reef safe. But I will perhaps not find these types of hermit crabs on your crabs webpages.

Only two of are usually around and are maybe not reef secure. The others keeps black colored foot which have gold places with reddish (perhaps maroon) antennae and two bluish absolutely nothing antennae. Are they reef secure also? They don’t order sign up for. Each of them need to eat anything. It is only a question of if or not i well worth what they eat. They’ll eat things they arrive around the that they’ll eat without difficulty. In the event the food is abundant, they might get-off the snails by yourself. For many who routine a husbandry and do not has nuisance algae and you will uneaten restaurants everywhere, the crabs will become starving and you can make use of most other target affairs. I wanted when planning on taking the stone therefore the shrimp, however, I have an effective banded red coral shrimp which whenever i create another shrimp of the same types they could battle.

It is actually including a stone ranch

I did not know that this type of shrimps including reside in really superficial oceans on just 3 ft strong. I really need certainly to come back around and have certain even more rocks and lots of invertebrates. And so are free! We.) Therefore every hermit crabs may possibly not be reef safe unless given safely? Villagers also maintain these stones and sell these to more LFS in the latest Philippines. If you don’t desire the problem out of event rocks you can buy they indeed there. But when you wanted free just get own 100% free and additionally they cannot head. It will be uncommon your authorities to not have specific sort of controls set up.

There clearly was a tiny LFS around you to promote fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you can alive rock

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 joingy prijzen <>, 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
