Steven Professional, Are you presently on the Philippines? It doesn’t stink nonetheless it smells like a stone out-of the sea (hehe however that is where they originated in). Whether or not it doesn’t stink do We still have to clean out it? I must say i want to get certain getting my personal container but I have no idea whether or not it is go on my base gravel just like the that isn’t mud so i didn’t get any to possess today. Does it go on my base pebbles regardless of if it’s far less good since the sand just what it was utilized too? However, I’m not sure if they’re reef safe. However, I could not select these types of hermit crabs on the crabs site.

Merely two of them are around consequently they are maybe not reef safe. Others have black colored feet with silver places with red-colored (perhaps maroon) antennae as well as 2 bluish little antennae. Will they be reef safe also? They won’t buy pull out. They all have to consume some thing. It is just a matter of if we well worth what they consume. They consume one thing they show up around the that they can consume with ease. In the event that meals is abundant, they may exit your own snails alone. For people who habit a great husbandry and don’t has actually annoyance algae and you can uneaten dinner everywhere, your crabs will become starving and you can resort to almost every other sufferer items. I needed to take the rock additionally the shrimp, but I actually have an effective banded red coral shrimp and therefore when i include other shrimp of the identical kinds they may fight.

It truly is like a stone ranch

I did not remember that such shrimps and additionally live-in very shallow waters about merely step three ft strong. I really must go back indeed there and get certain most stones and lots of invertebrates. And are generally totally free! We.) Thus all the hermit crabs may possibly not be reef secure except if provided safely? Villagers plus look after this type of rocks and sell these to different LFS in brand new Philippines. Otherwise desire the issue of gathering stones you can aquire it there. But when you want free simply get individual for free and additionally they do not mind. It could be unusual for any authorities not to have specific particular regulation in place.

You will find a tiny LFS indeed there one sell fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you can real time 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 kasidie inloggen 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
