Comments:
The first person to use Stress Coat with Aloe with
land hermit crabs was Don Drenning. He experimented with
it extensively and had great success with moults after
using it, especially with the Ecuadorian (C. compressus)
species.
You can read more about Don's reasons for using Stress
Coat here.
The patented Stress Coat formula contains Aloe gel,
taken from the inside of the Aloe plant's leaves. Stress
Coat has been independently proven to promote the healing
of damaged fish tissue.
You only need a tiny bit so a small bottle will go
a long way.

| Pros |
Conditions
the exoskeleton of land hermit crabs and creates a protective
coating. You only need a drop or two, so a little goes a
long way. |
| Cons |
You should
not add Stress Coat with Aloe to the fresh water dish, only
for bathing and misting. As Crablover Don (Don Drenning)
always said, that would be 'too much of a good thing' |
