Extracted from the sea (LR, mud celebs, hermits

Steven Professional, Will you be throughout the Philippines? It doesn’t stink it smells like a stone from the ocean (hehe obviously this is where it originated). If it doesn’t stink do I still need to beat they? I truly would like to get particular to own my personal tank however, We do not know if it is survive my base gravel just like the this is not sand together2night so i didn’t need people for today. Can it go on my bottom pebbles regardless of if it is less fine just like the mud just what it was applied too? But I am not sure if they are reef secure. However, I’m able to perhaps not see such hermit crabs on the crabs web site.

Simply two of them are here and are usually not reef secure. The rest has actually black colored feet having silver spots having red-colored (perhaps maroon) antennae and two blue nothing antennae. Will they be reef safer as well? They won’t acquisition take out. They all must consume something. It is only a question of whether we well worth what they eat. Might eat anything they arrive across that they may consume effortlessly. If the food is numerous, they may get-off the snails alone. For many who practice an excellent husbandry and do not features nuisance algae and uneaten restaurants every-where, your crabs can be starving and you will turn to most other victim items. I wanted when deciding to take the new material and shrimp, however, We have a beneficial banded coral shrimp hence as i add several other shrimp of the identical varieties they might fight.

It is such a rock ranch

I didn’t remember that these types of shrimps plus reside in really shallow waters regarding only 3 feet strong. I must say i need certainly to get back here and now have specific more rocks and some invertebrates. Consequently they are totally free! We.) Therefore all the hermit crabs may not be reef safe unless of course provided securely? Villagers also look after these rocks market these to different LFS in the brand new Philippines. If you don’t wish to have the issue of gathering rocks you can buy it there. But if you need totally free just get your individual 100% free and they cannot mind. It would be uncommon your regulators to not have some kind of controls in position.

You will find a small LFS here one to offer fishes, corals, invertebrates, and alive 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
