SRC Member Reefer_peter Posted November 13, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hello! I have a blue leg hermit crab that has just moulted. After moulting, he refuses to inhabit his current shell and goes to hide in a corner of the tank. Does anyone know where can I get/buy suitable shells for it? And how long can he survive without a shell? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member VanquishJ Posted November 14, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted November 14, 2017 He can survive forever without a shell as Long as nothing eats him and YoY take care of him. Try iwarna. They have some decent shells at times. Small and medium. No large tho. They do keep dead hermit crab shells at times. Another evil way is to buy some snails which you think might fit him and boil them and dig them out. Or go buy gong gong at Coffeeshop/Super market, enjoy yourself, boil and clean it, you are full and he has a lot of new home.

Mussa Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 You can get some bigger shell from carousell for the crab to migrate. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member VanquishJ Posted November 30, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted November 30, 2017 Bro. Wanna bring your crab over and choose a shell? I got snot of empty shell in my tank. They keep changing so should have some that fits yours. Just bought one box of shell for them in the future also. Haha.
