Extra hermit shells?

I need some hermit shells. It appears as though I have crabs running around without shells (Either that or I have some alien creature inmy tank). Does anyone have a handful I can buy, or that they can spare...

What size do you need? I have some shells in my sump I can dig up. FYI, never seen hermits stay alive after not going into a new shell soon after they leave the old one. Maybe just because the fish in my tank are alway hungry?

Hey Cali_reef,

Thanks as well... my hermits were realtively small to a small meduim size. It may not have been a crab I saw... but hell if it wasn't I have no idea what it was... sure looked like one. He was too big for any of my fish, and I don't think the Tang or Potters Angle would really be interested.

I could pick up a few from both you and Stingnyc, to have an assortment. I need to get more crabs soon, so the extra shells will help.

I'm in Westbury... not too far.

Rich.
