Hello everyone,
I recently added 2 clownfish and 2 hermit crabs on the 8th of June. I had a hermit crab act weird since the 9th, yesterday morning I found him molting. I just finished cycling a tank the week prior to adding any of these inhabitants . I am quite shocked. Anyone have this experience before? Is this normal? My water parameters are all at 0 (with the exception of nitrate, around 10-20ppm). How soon do I need to add a new shell for this guy? I have some arriving on Friday.
Also, how often should I had shells for hermit crabs, in general? Thanks everyone!
