However, back into their Staghorn hermit – speaking of “supposed” to-be some thing between a beneficial detritivore and a good herbivore

The rest can be good. Your own prominent concern would be remaining the fresh new coral cap suit, and coincidentally it’s just not in reality an enthusiastic Acroporid Staghorn, but a lot more Hydrozoan otherwise Bryozoan in general – a lot less demanding out-of extreme lights. I’d only continue your own normal eating regimen and all sorts of tend to likely be okay. It appears as though a little crawfish on 1/2-3/4 inch-long, it is a light grayish colour which have enough time whiskers and you can claws a comparable proportions due to the fact my Mexican red feet hermits, they are the same colour because the system that have red to the the guidelines of your own claws.

Individually, I do not really trust crabs of any sort, but these appear to be quite reef amicable

He’s interesting to watch as i can figure out which opening he’s from the, he is constantly reconstructing the brand new hills facing his exits, always everything you pick are an occasional claw otherwise whisker and plenty of nothing pieces of gravel being accumulated in front of holes he could be generated. Any tip what this curious nothing animal was, otherwise what It’s care requires and you will reef compatibility would be? Feels like no worries for the moment.

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 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 kinds try renown for adorning its cover having way of life anemones (specific having Calliactis species)

Coral hermit I just bought a Staghorn hermit crab. not sure just what to call him. <> He mostly just jeevansathi telefoonnummer 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 <>
