**Q: Can you use these for Dwarf blue leg hermit crabs in a saltwater aquarium**
A: We use these in a saltwater terrarium, not an aquarium because our crabs would drown. Our crabs are the Caribbean type. The pellets are consumed before they flake away from the moist environment, but our four guys are pretty large.

**Q: Hello, my mystery snails are in need of calcium. Is this good for them in a freshwater aquarium?**
A: Yes, it should be fine - it will dissolve and settle over the bottom surfaces for your snails to absorb while cleaning the tank.
