Guaranteed Safe Checkout
A brightly colored and active hermit crab valued for its striking yellow tipped legs and exceptional cleanup performance in marine aquariums. A welcome addition to reef safe cleanup crews.
Care Level:
Easy. Well suited for hobbyists of all experience levels once added to a mature system.
Temperament:
Peaceful and busy. Actively forages throughout the aquarium searching for algae and detritus.
Reef Compatibility:
Reef safe. Helps control nuisance algae and cyanobacteria without harming corals or sessile invertebrates.
Diet:
Herbivore. Grazes on naturally occurring algae, biofilm, and detritus. Supplement with dried seaweed or reef flakes if natural algae is limited.
Minimum Tank Size:
A well established system with plenty of live rock and surface area for grazing. Suitable for nano and larger tanks.
Notes:
Small size and equal sized claws allow this crab to forage even in tight crevices and around live rock. Providing extra empty shells of various sizes helps accommodate growth and reduces stress. Ideal in aquariums with sand substrate where it can dig and help aerate the substrate.
