Hello everyone.
I’m new here!
I have 2 Salt Water tanks 🙃
I live in Tampa, FL

I’m looking for places where I can find new shells for my hermit crab. He is growing, and I want to give him some new shell options.

I’m surrounded by beaches, but I was wondering if anybody here is from my area and can suggest a beach to go to.

Thanks!
 
I'm not from Florida, but if you can't find them on the beaches I do know that ReefCleaners sells them in a few different sizes:

You could also check with your local fish store, they probably have dozens of empty shells in their tanks.

Last, maybe the ladies at Tampa Bay Saltwater can help you find some:

Good luck!
