And Crass and Champ have painted shells. What happens when/if they outgrow them?
Then they look for new ones. If you leave a painted one in there, it'll start using that shell. Hermit crabs are neat like that.
Actually painted shells aren't good for crabs. Crab naturally munch on sea shells to get the calcium from them and every type of paint is fatal to them. As well as it flaking off and getting into their water and food or they just unknowingly eat it. Also that little glued on jewel isn't good for them either because they're gonna pick off the jewel and eat the glue and that will make them sick.
Besides, there are plenty of natural shells that are beautiful.
There ones have a dolphin carved into them!
