Default Let's talk CRABS baby!!!
I've been reading conflicting reports on hermit crabs. I am looking for a "brand " that will do a good job "cleaning" but won't harm any of my coralline algae. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The main thing is calcium. Get it up there.

i agree good calcium and alk. but with the crabs eating the corraline they dig it up and the pices that float around can actually help it grow elsewhere.
