Help!! Think Hermit Crab is sick

aktelmiele

Hey all

Got my tank tested yesterday and all was fine.

Put in a fire shrimp 3 red legged crabs and 3 snails.

Everybody is fine bar one who has left his shell.

He is sitting pretty motionless and has this white fluffy thing on his back.

The weird thing is that I cant find his shell in the tank

I have 2 larger shells for him.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Leave him in there. My hermits often leave their shells.
They need to find the right size shell.

In saying that, have you tested for nitrite? They are very susceptible to any spikes in nitrite.
