This is the only species that I've seen with an odd white crust on the inner eyestalk.

When you super want some coconut oil but you know your place. Poor Ramona isn't easily cowed but MBD keeps kicking her 🤣 #hermitcrabs #hermitcrabsofinstagram #crabstigram #instacrab #instahermit #claws #pinchers #coenobita #lhcos #csj #crabstreetjournal #clawlife #shelllife #thoseeyestho #allaboutthatpincher #crabby #crabbysquad #properpetcare

I'm fairly certain this is my girl Ditto. She's clearly had a molt and her color is so rich I can't stand it! She's just gorgeous! She's more nocturnal and not out in the day regularly so it's hard to get an accurate photo. 😍💓 #brevimanus #hermitcrabs #hermitcrabsofinstagram #crabstigram #instacrab #instahermit #claws #pinchers #coenobita #lhcos #csj #crabstreetjournal #clawlife #shelllife #thoseeyestho #allaboutthatpincher #crabby #crabbysquad #properpetcare

🏖️Deep, moist sand is VITAL to the molting process. Hermit crabs need sufficient substrate to dig down and build a cave in which to shed their exoskeleton safely. 👉In this image you can see just how deep this crab is down. Now understand that this particular crab is maybe the size of a big marble. ✔️We recommend a minimum depth of 3 x as deep as your largest crab but you can see here that if they have the room they can and will dig much deeper than that. You need a happy balance between deep substrate and climbing/walking space. ✔️Substrate *must* be sand or sand mixed with eco earth to mimic their natural habitat. ❎Surface molting is not normal. #hermitcrabs #hermitcrabsofinstagram #crabstigram #instacrab #instahermit #claws #pinchers #coenobita #lhcos #csj #crabstreetjournal #clawlife #shelllife #thoseeyestho #allaboutthatpincher #crabby #crabbysquad #properpetcare
