For basic care, I guess they are not that bad. But they have a picture of a PP (C. clypeatus) but under that have
"Scientific Name: Coenobita perlatus"
and they live MUCH longer than 10 years. They also state that hermies are nocturnal and eat at night? Here (and many others I have read about) the hermies move throughout the day and will even eat during the day. They do at least have a hyperlink to real sea/ocean mixes instead of the horrid hermit salts, and they do not mention providing extra shells. But for 'basic' info it is ok I guess.

This is the website where I found the blurb that mentions that Ethoxyquin may be linked to molting abnormalities. Read the overview on this page:

http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... atid=19648

It's good to see a supplier actually posting this information. I'd like to see more of it, this seems to be the only post on the site about it (I did a search for Ethoxyquin).

Good call, Purplepincer. :)
