Timfish Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 They're Flat Clawed Hermits, Pagurus pollicaris, from the Texas coast. Found from brackish estuaries to open shores and to depths of 150'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena95GT Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yup. They said they got them from galveston. Think any fish store will take them? Just as a donation? Lord knows I dont want or need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'd recommend some garlic, butter, and white wine. Saute for about 10 mins. Serve with a nice New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makena95GT Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Welp after looking the claws on these guys are very narrow. Similar to my old thin striped crab. Not broad claws like the flat claw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphoric Eulogy Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 They're kinda pale. Did you find out if they're land or aquatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena95GT Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 I had them in a tank with half land half water. They stayed in the water the whole time. When I got home I decided to keep one. That was smaller than my pinky nail. The rest got an icy demise in ice water in my freezer :/ I hated to do it but i had nowhere to keep them once i got home and i couldnt keep them at that tank i set up at work. I hate when people who dont know anything take crabs from the beach expecting them to be land hermits then just ditch them when they find out otherwise. Y U NO just buy a crab from the store for $3??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
