over the past couple of weeks all my crabs have been dying one by one, it started with my emerald which I had for months and then my hermits started dying off, another died today and I’m down to one. My snails and corals are fine. My clowns and fire fish are okay as well, nkt sure what this could be. Also not sure if I just never noticed it before but the point on the shells of the hermits is white.

What are your parameters? Any large ph fluctuations or have you added any medications?
What’s the last crab you have left? They do occasionally kill each other.
Enough food in your system?

I haven’t added any meds, I didn’t have fish in the tank so I didn’t feed much and that’s what I concluded the emeralds death too, but then I got fish and feed now and I made sure I fed the hermits to prevent that. I have 1 hermit not sure what kind and a bunch of shells. Parameters are stable, i don’t have exacts on hand, I haven’t noticed any ph fluctuations. I read magnesium but that would be noticed in snails too I think
