ckmullin Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I'll post assorted pictures of invertebrates as nice shots are found. Just one lone hermit crab at this time but soon it'll have friends. Son bestowed the name Superman, I think because of it's red legs!

Wingin' It Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 when you get bigger hermits/more hermits, they'll pull each other out of their shells...so offering several other shells that are vacant is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
