crabs

Hello all again, Just looking for quick advice I setup a 75 gallon and it has been running a week now and mainly cycled I will say as all my levels and annomia have been good for awhile with this I added 3 PJS after 3 days of cycle after using live sand, rock and live bacteria and when the...

Hello, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 that has been set up since early October of last year. It has had a big algae problem since the beginning and I’ve had different inverts during this time. Currently, I have a tuxedo urchin and three electric blue hermit crabs. The urchin is pretty small but there...

I'm new and inexperienced, and I want to get a pet crab or crustacean. I was wondering what would be a good starter, like shrimp or crabs. Thanks for any help!

We're setting up a lifegard aquatics 7.4g to feature a pom pom crab. Soft corals and other crabs, shrimp, snails and one small fish (TBD). Relatively inexperienced at sourcing rock, as everything I've had has come from previously-owned nanos (running a 20g mixed reef). DT dimensions are...

We are wrapping up the build of our new online invert system and we are excited to be able to offer more inverts to our online customers. What are your favorite inverts to use in your tank and what are some inverts you wish you could find available online to order? Check out some pictures...

So this one of my hermit crabs likes to climb the edges of the tank and chill at the top. Is there a reason why he does this? He ends up falling down eventually and is fine but I’m just confused as to why he does this.

After a 20 year hiatus, I set up a reef tank about two years ago. Excited by the new things available when I set the tank up, I just couldn't resist live rock. I bought 40 pounds of it from Florida and it's been an interesting journey to say the least. Now two years later that original tank has...

I am new to saltwater aquariums and I have a 6 gallon tank I have done my research but I don't now one thing. In my 6 gallon tank can I have a pair of spotted porcelain anemone crab and 2 pom pom crabs? If not what will I have to turn down Out the the creatures I have just mentioned.

So uhm, I actually posted about this one the other day. But I now have clearer pictures of these tiny 'maroon / brown' crab hitchhikers. They are only ¾ to an inch in size and their 'shells' are full of bumps. I assume some of them are females because I can see them carrying black eggs...

Can someone identify these hitchhikers? I got them from the live rock I purchased. Are these good or bad?

Hi everyone! I meant to get around to this sooner, but life has kept me busy, so now I'm finally making my build thread! I inherited this little 15-gallon (18 including the rear sump) from a friend on Halloween of last year, just under half a year ago. It was dirty with algae-infested rocks and...

Hi, When I set up my tank, I purchased premium uncured live rock. I did a great job curing it without killing much of the amazing small corals, multiple kinds of macro Algae (some I have never seen before like red moss). Anyway, I added a ball of chaeto directly into the tank but with the...

I’ve had my tank set up for over a year, and never had added any crabs. My tank is a mostly fish only tank, with 2 anemones and some GSP. So I was caught by surprise one night when I spotted a mysterious crab on the rocks. My theory is that maybe when I was adding pods to the tank, there might...

Check out my hermit crab giving out rides around the aquarium for a shell clean and polish lol

Hello! I run a 20 gallon tank with a few easy keeper corals. I’ve had the tank for close to a year now and last night I noticed a crab hiding between the rock work in my aquarium. Based on what I’ve read it’s rare for these guys to be beneficial and was wondering if anyone had advice for finding...

Hi Experts, Found this crab today (about 1.5cm)... not sure if it is good or bad. Thanks.
