Taken from the sea (LR, sand superstars, hermits
Steven Pro, Are you presently on the Philippines? It generally does not stink it has the scent of a rock of the sea (hehe obviously that is where they originated). In the sugarbook-coupon event it will not stink carry out We still need to remove they? I must say i want to get particular for my personal container but I do not know if it can survive my personal bottom pebbles since the it is not fine sand so i did not take one for today. Will it survive my bottom gravel in the event it’s significantly less fine given that mud exactly what it was utilized as well? But I don’t know if they are reef safer. But I can maybe not pick this type of hermit crabs on your own crabs website.
Merely a couple of are usually indeed there consequently they are perhaps not reef secure. Others keeps black colored base which have silver spots having purple (maybe maroon) antennae and two bluish absolutely nothing antennae. Are they reef safer too? They won’t order remove. All of them must eat anything. It is merely a point of if we really worth whatever they consume. They’ll eat some thing they are available round the they can consume effortlessly. In the event that food is abundant, they could hop out the snails alone. For those who habit a husbandry and do not possess nuisance algae and you may uneaten dining every-where, their crabs will become eager and you can make use of most other victim circumstances. I wanted when deciding to take this new material and the shrimp, but I have a good banded coral shrimp and therefore as i put various other shrimp of the same types they may endeavor.
It really is such as a rock ranch
I didn’t know that such shrimps plus are now living in extremely low waters from the merely 3 legs deep. I absolutely need certainly to go back there and just have certain a lot more rocks and many invertebrates. Consequently they are 100 % free! I.) So all the hermit crabs might not be reef safer unless of course provided safely? Villagers together with manage such stones market them to more LFS within the newest Philippines. If you don’t wish to have the issue from get together rocks you can purchase they there. But when you need 100 % free only get the own for free and so they never notice. It will be strange for government to not have some variety of regulation set up.
There’s a small LFS truth be told there you to promote fishes, corals, invertebrates, and you can live rock
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
