OK, I have had my SW aquarium up & running for 5-6 months, I started by putting in 5 hermit crabs, they seemed to disappear so thought they may ave been eaten since I have a porky pufffer and a trigger, I added 10 more about 2 months later.. Today I see a crab that is 3 times the size of any crab I have ever put in there. His shell is completely white...can their shells grow???? First time I have ever seen this. I had not put in any extra empty shells, where did this monster crome from. He did not hitch hike... cuz the rock I have is base rock.:notsure:
