used crushed corals to increase your hardness and better to run a air stone to

provide oxygen in your water at all times to prevent them from "drowning". They

breath through gills too, kinda like fishes. and if you do not want high water level

keep the level at least slightly above their heads for best effect.

so how do they survive in those plastic bowls and pails in LFS when they're being sold? not much water right? or is the air in singapore humid enough?

the minimum height is at least up till half of their carapace where their gills are

located. And because they do have filter in those boxes. They'll have to change

the water though small amt but regularly. That's how they "survive". Their stock

rotation is fast, that's another thing to note too.
