Upon further thought........

I have realized that this is actually Mrs. Hermit that has resurfaced, the newest addition to our family, and the very first one down eons ago. And being she is the smallest, I am thinking it will be another couple of weeks before the other two decide to surface. But I don't want her to get lonely, so I think a trip to the pet store is in order. LOL

She is still happy in her shell. Its a turbo shell with a nice smooth gold interior thats just right. She's a lot shyer now that when I first got her. She wouldn't come out of her shell and visit with me at all, but she had lots of water stored up in there and has been munching on the coral in there. Hasn't touched the coconut, banana, seaweed or eggs yet......and the coconut is already molding, so I better change that all out. LOL

Woohoo!! An update!!

We got home from my mom and dads house last night, and Mr. Krabs was sitting in the middle of the tank!!! He was the one that had been in the corner giving me a little window to all his goings on. I had given and extra bit of water to the substrate the night before, and the next morning my window to him was gone. I was a bit worried that I had collapsed his tunnel. But oh no, there he was!!! And then over night, he switched shells. Guess he wanted a new Christmas present. LOL I'll try to snag a picture of him in his new home soon.

Thar be pink legs in there!!!

One of the crabs has molted! Which ever one it is that I can see in the corner has some mighty pink legs right now. LOL And its stealthy silent too, so that gives me hope the other two are doing the same. Mrs. Hermit was the smallest of the 3, and shouldn't be taking this long, so I am not too hopeful she's still alive. Ah well. After the other two surface, I'll go digging I think.
