A message from FJ Ong Pramono Dear hermit crab enthusiasts,Following a discussion with Stacy Griffith, I decide to make this post.

Coenobita Curiosities was originally going to be a pop up shop at Crab Con 2020. Unfortunately the world put a nix on that plan. In order to get their products out to the world, their shop on Etsy was created. CoenobitaRead More →
