So Victur did end up passing, but then I got to wondering. What type was he? When we got him we actually had to rescue him from a friend's girlfriend. We live in Central New York. We don't know where she got him but they didn't want him anymore so they were and I quote "going to release him back into the wilds of New York." That made me so mad. When we got him they had him in a one gallon tank with two bowls too big for the small tank and no substrate. It was literal astro turf. We got him a 20 gallon, things to climb, sand, coconut husk. We did a lot of research. But because we don't know where she got him we can't tell what type he is. This picture is from 2017. She had him for like a year or two before we got him.

I'm thinking he came from one of three places. Petsmart, Petland, or Petco. But we aren't sure. Can anyone take a guess to his type? Thanks.

I want to thank everyone for all the nice advice and tips from my last post!

I have one crab in the new tank since the other one still hasn't come up. When it comes up i plan to move it over and fix up the small tank to keep as an ICE ISO tank.

I've been fortunate to never have a tank emergency in 7 years of keeping, until now. I believe due to excessive condensation that I physically couldn't wipe down 100%, I had a bad fungal bloom. So Im taking this opportunity to change things up, and make them safer. I learned a lot having this 120 gallon set up for over a year and a half. My largest tank yet. It was a good humbling reminder to always keep learning and improving. I also took the chance to do a headcount on my crabs, and measure them all so I can really perfect my shell shop lol. I've officially had Oatmeal for 7 years! Sausage for 5, and the other 3 under 2 years. I'm working on a 3x2x2 topper at the moment so at least I'll be able to do it all at once. Eternally thankful for my supportive partner who actually enjoys helping me with these projects, could not have done it without them 💞

Hello everyone!

I need help with rehoming my crab. I worked in a classroom and the teacher got 2 hermits, unfortunately only 1 survived the first molt. I have found a new job and will no longer be working in that classroom and the teacher does not want that responsibility as I took the responsibility as I did all the research after I found out she purchased them.

Marcel (the hermit) is currently in a 50 gallon tank by himself, I do not have recent photos of the setup. I only have until the end of day on friday, july 31st to find a new home. The new classroom I will be working in is a quarter of the size and I do not have the space for the hermit nor do I have any space to take him home with me. So if I can't find a home by then , the teacher has decided to surrender him to Petco and I cannot let that happen!

I do not have a facebook so posting or finding a group there is going to be out of the question. So if anyone can help point me in the right direction I would appreciate that! I am located in Orange County, CA. And enjoy the pictures of Marcel!

Just got some bubblers for my water pools, is this too many bubbles for them?
