But back once again to your own Staghorn hermit – these are “supposed” are one thing anywhere between a great detritivore and an excellent herbivore

The remainder would be fine. Your premier matter might be staying the new coral hat match, and you may and this is it isn’t actually an enthusiastic Acroporid Staghorn, but more Hydrozoan or Bryozoan in nature – way less requiring of severe lights. I’d just remain their regular feeding regimen and all of commonly likely be fine. It appears as though a small crawfish regarding the 1/2-3/cuatro inch long, it is a white grayish colour that have enough time whiskers and you can claws about the same size once the my personal Mexican purple base hermits, they are the exact same color due to the fact looks with red toward the tips of claws.

In person, Really don’t very trust crabs of any type, but these be seemingly fairly reef friendly

He could be interesting to look at when i is also decide which gap he could be of the, he’s always rebuilding the fresh slopes in front of their exits, usually everything you look for is actually a periodic claw or whisker and you may loads of nothing items of pebbles being accumulated at the front of one’s holes he could be produced. One tip just what this curious nothing animal was, or exactly what It’s care and attention means and reef compatibility could well be? Seems like no worries for now.

Hermit crab with anemones Hi Folks – fantastic site, I’ve been loitering around here for a couple of months digesting all the info I can – now I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with. I have a huge hermit crab (around 2′” long) with two anemones on his shell. I have two questions. what type of anemones are these likely to be werkt taimi? They seem extremely hardy – getting buried in sand, squashed between the shell and the aquarium glass, and scraped along the rock whenever the crab crawls into one of the caves. I’ve had this combo for 3 months now, and the anemones are looking very healthy and growing at a pretty fast rate. Second question – my crab has changed shells 3 or 4 times since I’ve had him, and he always takes the anemones with him, I’ve never seen this happen but I’d love to know how this occurs. Does the crab move them over to the new shell, or does he just sit there and wait for them to move themselves? Any answers or more information on this curious combination would be greatly appreciated.

This fascinating varieties are renown to own adorning the shell that have way of life anemones (specific with Calliactis species)

Coral hermit I just bought a Staghorn hermit crab. not sure just what to call him. <> He mostly just sits about the tank watching the world go by. I would like to know if I am supposed to provide future homes for him. is he nocturnal? <> (He sits in the cave that belongs to the shrimp. it takes up about 1/4 of my 60 gal.) I have great water quality, and nothing that would bother him as all other hermits are smaller, and the fish are “peaceful” and small. Any other info on care and behavior would be great, as I noticed this crab is missing in your articles. <> thanks a lot <>
