Originally Posted by lil.guppy So I got my shipment of nas, turbo, mix crabs yesterday. I did the 3hr drip system. Most of them seem to be doing fine moving around but there is still about 10 sitting on the bottom not moving. Is it normal for them to not move for a couple days? Check all water...

Yes it's normal some inverts may not move or show signs of life for weeks, but you must keep an eye on this and pick them up every now a then to smell them to be sure they are not dying or all ready dead.
