Dimiqueen Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Any one have a thought as to how to help get coral glue off of a hermit crab? I got some new frags and successfully glued them down in the tank. Then I noticed that somehow one of my hermit crabs picked up a glob of glue and now has glue all over himself. two of his legs are stuck together and one of his pincers seems encrusted in the stuff. He seems to be getting around OK, but I want to help him out if I can.... Any thoughts on how to help this little guy out? Thanks! Link to comment
Chadf Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Is it moving around and eating? If so I'd just leave it be, it'll be fine after a molt. Link to comment
Dimiqueen Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 The crab is moving around and seems to be scavenging ok. He was able to get the two legs free of one another, now he has dabs of glue on the ends of two legs. His one pincer is still pretty glued shut though. I will just watch a wait, and see how it goes.... Link to comment
4x5 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I wouldn't stress, hermits are pretty tough. Link to comment
joy13 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 He will be fine I know someone that managed to glue a tangs mouth shut and in a few days the fish was eating fine again. Link to comment
