Don't worry, I pulled it off afterwards.Ouch! I hope it's okay. Thank for for the contribution. King of coral mountain Lol. Needs more crab! Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Lol. Needs more crab! Lol I agree, I'll try to get a photo the next time the hermit crab mob gets together for a hunt. Link to comment

teenyreef Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 That was a great video! This isn't exactly stacking, but seeing all the hermit crabs in their orderly line reminded my of the picture I took of my Nerites' morning traffic jam: DSC_0065 by TeenyReef, on Flickr There's that one guy who's backwards...just like every other traffic jam I've ever been in Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 There's that one guy who's backwards...just like every other traffic jam I've ever been in Nice symmetry to that pic! That third one is like, "nope, nope, nope." Great addition to the thread. Thanks teeny! Link to comment
DurocShark Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've been watching. Mine fight over shells and stuff, but they don't stack. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 bumpWell done! I love those zebra striped hermits. They're good workers. I've been watching. Mine fight over shells and stuff, but they don't stack. Keep watching! I'm sure you'll catch two or three eventually. Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Well this was a big ball of inverts. They fell just as I clicked. 3 jumbo Tongan Nassarius 2 not so jumbo Tongan Nassarius 5 Nasarius vibex And right in the very middle completely swamped by slime is a hermit crab. They're all fighting for an algae wafer Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Omg my Brown Hermit killed a GIGANTIC Mexican Turbo snail today and stole its shell. Ill try to get a picture- it looks hilarious! Link to comment

D'oh! I hope he at least keeps it. I remember frequently, my hermits would try out a new shell for a day and later decide to trade back to their original shell. Looking forward to the pic!

NYfishies Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This thread is absolutely hilarious/awesome. I will try to get some pictures. I have tons of hermits and they love stacking. I get a lot of snail/hermit stacking. Is that allowed? Link to comment

I get a lot of snail/hermit stacking. Is that allowed? Thanks NY! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Pretty much any stacking is allowed here. Most of it is crab related. There's been plenty of invert involved stacking pics with and without crabs. There's even been a few fish related stacking events. It's all in good fun. Whatever you have, bring it on! I think my record is four crabs stacked up. I'd love to see more than that with or without crabs. The tough part is noticing it and photographing it before they disassemble. (BTW, where are you in Manhattan? I used to live next door to the 92nd St. YMCA.) Link to comment
