My crab!

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Here is my pet hermit crab...its a flat-claw hermit, from Long Island Sound. I have it in a 10 gal "local" tank along with some mussels, a mud crab, and loads of mud snails. Take care, Eric

neat. does it need to have much water or flowing water, or just a bunch of wet sand/rocks?

 

[SlipperFan]

Ghostly.

It seems surprised!!! Weird!!! Get it a mate...! But wait, is it called hermit because of its behaviour??? Lonely one???

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Its in a 10 gal tank filled with brackish water...almost sea water salinity, but a bit less....maybe 28-30 ppt.....not much flow...just a small filter/skimmer. Its a very low maintenance tank!

I was tempted to say that Eric has crabs...but I refrained oke:
