Extracted from the ocean (LR, sand celebrities, hermits

Steven Expert, Are you currently about Philippines? It generally does not stink however it smells like a stone out-of the ocean (hehe however this is how it came from). Whether or not it will not stink carry out I still have to reduce it? I truly need specific for my tank however, I do not know in the event it can be live on my personal bottom gravel given that that isn’t fine sand so i didn’t grab people to possess now. Can it survive my base pebbles whether or not it’s not as good because mud just what it was used as well? But sudy reddit I don’t know when they reef safe. But I could not find these hermit crabs on your own crabs site.

Simply a couple of them are there and are also perhaps not reef secure. The remainder features black base with gold places with red-colored (perhaps maroon) antennae and two blue absolutely nothing antennae. Will they be reef safer as well? They will not order remove. They all need certainly to consume some thing. It is merely a matter of if or not we well worth whatever they eat. They’re going to consume anything they are available round the they can consume effortlessly. If food is abundant, they may get off your snails alone. If you practice a husbandry plus don’t has pain in the neck algae and you can uneaten dinner every where, the crabs will become hungry and you will make use of almost every other target points. I wanted to take the brand new rock plus the shrimp, however, I have a good banded coral shrimp hence once i include various other shrimp of the same variety they could strive.

It really is instance a rock ranch

I did not know that these shrimps together with are now living in extremely superficial oceans about simply 3 feet strong. I absolutely need certainly to get back here and possess some even more stones and several invertebrates. And they are totally free! I.) Thus every hermit crabs might not be reef secure until provided securely? Villagers as well as manage such rocks and sell these to some other LFS here in brand new Philippines. If not want the problem from collecting stones you can buy they there. But when you require 100 % free merely get very own at no cost in addition they usually do not attention. It could be uncommon for any authorities not to have some brand of control positioned.

Discover a small LFS truth be told there that promote fishes, corals, invertebrates, and alive 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 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
