Clan Update

I haven't done a clan update in a while, so I figure it's about time all of my readers (am I talking to myself?) find out how my crabs are doing and what's going on as of today. Pictures of each crab are included, but none of them are too recent. I will list them in the order I've acquired them.

Mako
Mako is currently the crab I've had the longest. He is a purple pincher and is currently dug under the substrate and in the same shell as Shinto (tapestry turbo).

Mako molted in April, so I am assuming he may be pulling off another molt. Oddly enough, he went down the same time my Viola went down. I am praying there are no troubles there.

Pompeii
Pompeii is currently my only Ecuadorian hermit crab with me, as Kilimanjaro has passed a few weeks ago. Needless to say, Pompeii has been walking around the tank aimlessly... I think she may be trying to find another Ecuadorian to hang out with!

I am hoping to find her a species buddy soon, but with money situations, I am unable to at the moment. Pompeii is my only crab that is actually on the surface!

Ryukyu
Ryukyu, my "prized-possession", is finally molting! I am a bit worried because Shinto and Mako followed him down. Both of those crabs are due for a molt, too. I am just hoping there are no troubles.

I am really worried about Ryu's first molt... him being an exotic an all. I am just hoping that all goes well and I can see him in a month or so when he resurfaces!

Shinto
Shinto, my newest purple pincher and also the crab I've had for the least amount of time, has finally decided to go down for a molt! He has been surfaced and digging since I've acquired him in February, so I am so happy he is finally deciding to get it done and over with!

The only problem with is molt is that he went down in the same area as Ryukyu. I am really worried about my Viola!
And that is the clan update!
