Porcelain anemone crab bad molt

[Keith Hill]

hello.

I have a porcelain anemone crab and it has jolted 3 times. First 2 were fine but the last basically left it with unusable claws. I had 2 and my other had the same thing happen on the first molt and went missing shortly after. All shrimp and everything are fine. Just wondering if anyone knows what could cause this.

Thanks

I'd check your iodine levels- sounds like it might be low

 

[Keith Hill]

Is there a test set for that? I have never heard of that

 

[Keith Hill]

How would I add more iron ?

 

[Keith Hill]

I started using GFO so would that decrease iron? Could using active carbon help increase it?

 

[Keith Hill]

crap I just reread that and I see it was iodine not iron. Anything info how to dose ?

 

[DracoKat]

There are iodine tests to check your levels. if its low, there's iodine supplement to dose with too

Wonderful I will look into it. Thanks for the help. I would have never have even thought about iodine
