Crab Constantly in Water?

I did a search for "Superstore exact brand marine salt" and came up with:
search

Then a search for:
Superstore marine salt

Is it the Kent or himalayn pink salt? I cannot seem to find what you mentioned you used?

It is just called PC Sea Salt. It doesn't have any additives.

From searching this appears to be a human grade organic salt? I would recommend purchasing an ocean/sea salt sold for specifically for salt water fish tanks. These do have the 'nutrients' that hermies need to flourish and survive, where as little is actually known about the organic human grade salts.

I will do so tomorrow then. Thanks for letting me know

You may wish to bath all hermies that have had the organic human grade salt to flush their shells out. (not the ones burrowed if any are until they surface) There maybe a chance too that once offered the proper ocean.sea water they may drain the pond. If so it will show that they have been lacking the nutrients the ocean/sea water contains. (because of this, the ocean/sea mix sold should not be used for human consumption)
