This Hermit Crab is a voracious eater of nuisance algae and cyanobacteria. Plus, its small size allows it to forage and scavenge in the tightest of locations amongst live rock.

This hermit crab has claws of equal size and lives in abandoned snail shells. As he sifts through substrate in search of food, it helps clean and aerate aquarium substrate. This activity helps reduce substrate compaction and promotes beneficial bacteria growth and function. Ideally, the Hermit Crab should be kept in a well-established system with plenty of algae and live rock on which to graze.

To accommodate the growth of this small, reef-safe hermit crab, supply empty snail shells of various sizes and shapes. Also, feed dried seaweed if algae levels within your aquarium are insufficient. Like other invertebrates, care needs to be taken with the use of medications, as well as during the acclimation process to prevent pH shock.
