The others is good. Your biggest matter could well be staying the fresh new red coral hat suit, and you will and that is it isn’t in fact an enthusiastic Acroporid Staghorn, but a whole lot more Hydrozoan or Bryozoan in nature – a lot less demanding from extreme bulbs. I would just continue the regular feeding regimen and all usually likely be okay. It appears as though a little crawfish in the step one/2-3/4 inch long, it is a light grayish colour that have long whiskers and you may claws comparable proportions as the my North american country reddish feet hermits, they are same color due to the fact muscles which have yellow to the the tips of the claws.

Personally, I really don’t very faith crabs of any type, but these appear to be rather reef amicable

He’s interesting to view as i is figure out which opening he is because of the, they are always reconstructing new hills facing his exits, usually anything you pick are an occasional claw or whisker and you can an abundance of nothing bits of gravel becoming accumulated in front of your own openings he’s made. People suggestion just what this curious absolutely nothing creature is actually, otherwise what It’s proper care needs and you may reef compatibility will 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? 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 San Jose escort reviews 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.

That it interesting species was renown to have adorning its cover which have life style anemones (certain having 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 <>
