Do your hermit crabs group together?

[Puddjuice]

Mine have seemed to take interest to the front left corner of the tank and no matter where I move them they seem to migrate back. Any ideas on why they do this?

mine did that a lot when my tank was first set up. They will still do it every once and a while. I don't have a clue as to why, but my thoughts were maybe something in the rock died and they were trying to get to it or it may be a mating thing. Either way it's interesting to see them all get together once and a while.

mine have weekly meetings in a cave away from the light. I think they're planning thier escape.

It's annoying lol, they all group in the corner, and now they are gone...

okay - I'll say it first - it's a hermit huddle and they are conspiring an escape or a food revolt

Mine used to, but then my interceptor treatment killed all of them

Hi, my blue legs don't cluster. They all live as individuals and when they come across one another they size up the others shells and attempt to steal it if it is larger.

that's one heck of a way to keep them from conspiring to escape. I bet they won't try that again...... then again, they can't :hammer:

mine huddle around the same small rock near the sandbed, all fighting for something to eat. Apparently the other 140lb of rock doesnt seem appetizing to them...
