blue leg hermit crab has one leg left 4 days ago also my sally lightfoot crab (percnon gibbes) 4inches across the leg span so quite big, has lost 2 of his legs on the same side, seems ok though still eating well. that was yesterday, today my turbo snail is dead, poor timmy! all fish look healthy as do the corals and the anemones. have studied the tank and no other strange things living in there. any ideas please?

Mainly it ends up to be stress. They slowly but surely grow back. You should be giving it it's food by hand and making sure others in the tank aren't picking at him.

Well, there are a few things it could be. First, perhaps your crabs are not getting the right nutrients, try feeding them leafy veggies with calcium. Second, have to tested your aquariam water lately? They do it free at Petco. The ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, etc could be on the high side damaging your animals. Lastly, is there another fish that is picking on the crabs?

To much beer has caused them to brawl and pull each others legs.
