Obtained from the sea (LR, sand stars, hermits

Steven Pro, Have you been on the Philippines? It doesn’t stink but it has the aroma of a stone away from the ocean (hehe without a doubt that’s where they originated from). Whether or not it does not stink perform We still need to remove it? I truly need to get particular getting my personal tank however, We have no idea when it can also be survive my bottom pebbles just like the this isn’t mud therefore i did not bring one to possess now. Can it go on my base gravel though it’s a lot less good given that sand exactly what it was used too? But I am not sure if they are reef safer. But I’m able to perhaps not discover these hermit crabs on your crabs website.

Just a couple of them are there consequently they are not reef safe. The remainder keeps black foot that have silver areas with reddish (maybe maroon) antennae as well as 2 bluish little antennae. Will they be reef safer too? They will not buy remove. They all need to consume things. It is simply a point of if rate my date aplicación or not i really worth what they consume. They will consume anything they show up across the that they’ll eat with ease. In the event that food is abundant, they might get off your own snails alone. For folks who habit a good husbandry and do not keeps pain alga and you will uneaten restaurants everywhere, your own crabs will become starving and you will resort to other target activities. I needed for taking the fresh material together with shrimp, however, I already have a great banded red coral shrimp hence when i incorporate various other shrimp of the same varieties they may endeavor.

It really is such a stone ranch

I didn’t be aware that this type of shrimps also live-in very superficial oceans throughout the only 3 ft strong. I really need certainly to get back indeed there and just have certain even more rocks and some invertebrates. And tend to be 100 % free! I.) Very all hermit crabs may not be reef safer except if given safely? Villagers as well as care for these types of rocks and sell them to additional LFS here in the fresh new Philippines. Or even desire the difficulty from collecting rocks you can purchase it here. But when you need free just ensure you get your own at no cost and they cannot head. It will be strange for your authorities to not have specific sort of control set up.

There can be a small LFS indeed there one offer fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you will live stone

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
