My Halloween crab has outgrown all 3 shells I had in my tank. It was a bit funny seeing him in a new home very other day.

So in need some new homes for him to check out. His current home is 1.5-2". Very partial to the couch style shell....it is a must.
Any idea where I can find him a new home?

Thanks

My local fish store has free shells...its called Fishy Frags located in Auburn, Ma...he just moved to a new location which is next to where ReefJunkiez used to be.
 
That first picture is a cone snail shell. If you don’t mind local snail species, a moon snail or skarkeye would be great. Walk the beach around Buzzards Bay and you will find them, or out on the Cape. Tides are big this week, and with that wind we had you should have no problem, you are in Middleboro, in Wareham, Little Harbor Beach at low tide has tons of shells usually. Alternately, Michaels and AC Moore has craft supply shells by the bag, tropical ones, approximate size you would need. Or since everything is closed mostly:
Or Petco has shells for land hermits usually:
 
Do you think any one of these would work for him?
