Maite, My smallest crab
I found her today in front of the tank, out shell, not moving, missing some parts. I think she died of PPS but I'm not sure. I only had her for like....less than a week. Well, I guess crabbing is a learning experience.

Re: Maite, My smallest crab
I'm sorry to hear of the hermie passing. When you got them home, did you adjust them slowly to the conditions needed per the PPS article?

My small/tiny crabs were dug under for two straight months. They still dig under during the day, but come up every few nights now.
