Hello.

Still a newbie, still ballsing things up here and there despite tons of research...

The latest thing I seem to have done wrong was disguard what I think was our little red legged hermits molted bits. I'm now told that it would have snacked on them now it's back in his shell - to gain strength.

Can I leave anything near it in the tank to supplement this?

Thanks.

Any kind of food or treat is fine. If you have a turkey baster you can target feed and very slowly dispense some mysis or flake food right in the crabs claws.
