Taken from the sea (LR, mud celebs, hermits

Steven Professional, Could you be regarding the Philippines? It doesn’t stink but it has the scent of a stone off the ocean (hehe definitely this is when it originated from). Whether it does not stink manage We still need to dump they? I really would like to get particular getting my tank however, We don’t know if it is survive my personal base gravel since the that isn’t mud thus i failed to just take people having now. Will it live on my bottom gravel regardless if it is significantly less good because the sand just what it was applied also? But I don’t know when they reef safer. However, I am able to perhaps not look for such hermit crabs on your own crabs website.

Only a couple of them are truth be told there and they are maybe not reef secure. The others provides black ft having gold areas with red-colored (perhaps maroon) antennae and two bluish absolutely nothing antennae. Will they be reef secure too? They will not order pull out. Each of them need to consume anything. It is merely an issue of if i worth what they eat. Might eat one thing they arrive around the they can eat easily. In the event the meals is abundant, they could log off the snails by yourself. For many who habit good husbandry and don’t enjoys pain in the neck alga and you may uneaten restaurants everywhere, their crabs will end up starving and you will turn to other sufferer things. I wanted when planning on taking the new stone together with shrimp, but I actually have a good banded red coral shrimp and that whenever i include another shrimp of the identical varieties they may fight.

It is actually eg a rock ranch

I did not remember that these types of shrimps together with inhabit most low waters about only step three foot deep. I absolutely should go back there and also certain even more stones and several invertebrates. And are also free! We.) Very most of the hermit crabs may not be reef safer until provided properly? Villagers also look after these types of stones market them to various other LFS here in the new Philippines. If you don’t desire the problem out of get together rocks you can aquire they indeed there. But when you wanted 100 % free merely get the very own for free and cannot brain. It would be uncommon for authorities not to have some sorts of control in position.

There clearly was a little LFS truth be told there you to definitely offer fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you may live stone

Hermit Crab Hello those who couldn’t make it to MACNA. <> One of my (saltwater) hermit crabs was tagged-datingsite 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
