However, back again to the Staghorn hermit – these are “supposed” to-be one thing ranging from a beneficial detritivore and you can a good herbivore
The rest is fine. The largest matter might be staying the red coral hat healthy, and you may coincidentally it isn’t actually a keen Acroporid Staghorn, but so much more Hydrozoan or Bryozoan in the wild – way less demanding regarding severe bulbs. I would personally just keep your own regular feeding system and all usually be great. It appears as though a little crawfish regarding step one/2-3/4 inch-long, it is a light grayish colour having much time wamba whiskers and you may claws about the same dimensions as the my personal Mexican reddish feet hermits, they are same color as the human anatomy that have red-colored on the the tips of your own claws.
Actually, I don’t most trust crabs of any type, nevertheless these appear to be rather reef amicable
He is interesting to watch while i is also figure out which gap he could be by the, they are always reconstructing new hills in front of their exits, usually whatever you pick are an occasional claw or whisker and you may a good amount of nothing items of gravel becoming piled up in front of one’s gaps he’s produced. One idea what which curious nothing creature are, or what It’s care and attention need and you can reef being compatible might be? Sounds 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 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 species was renown having adorning its layer that have way of life anemones (certain with Calliactis kinds)
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 <>
