What shells do Hermit crabs like best?
They like all types of shells... You must keep a few different types of the right sized shell in your tank so they can choose what they like best... Hermit crabs like to switch shells often, and many times they will switch to a shell and switch right back to their old one as a sort of "buyers remorse".... Make sure the shells you keep are a bit larger than the ones your crabs are currently in, and the new ahells shouldn't have anything inside like sharp edges... The shells are their way of protecting their sensative abdomen and if the shell has sharp spots or debris inside it could injure your crab
Do limestone from areas where shelled sea creatures are highly abundant contain more carbonate or not?
Yes, limestone from areas where shelled sea creatures are highly abundant typically contains more carbonate. Shelled sea creatures like mollusks and corals have shells made primarily of calcium carbonate. Over time, as their shells accumulate and get compacted, they form limestone. As a result, limestone from these areas will have a higher carbonate content compared to limestone from areas without such abundant sea creatures.
