Red Leg Hermit Crab

Description

The Red Leg Hermit Crab (Clibanarius sp.) is a hardy and beneficial invertebrate, making it a valuable member of a reef cleanup crew. Depending on the species, it helps control algae, consume detritus, and clear up uneaten food.

When introducing Red Leg Hermit Crabs, acclimate them slowly and ensure your reef maintains stable salinity and temperature. Copper-based medications must be avoided, as they are harmful to invertebrates.

They can be fed sparingly with algae sheets or small meaty foods when required. The Red Leg Hermit Crab is available now at Ocean in a Box, offered at the best price for your reef aquarium.
