But back to your own Staghorn hermit – these are “supposed” getting anything ranging from a good detritivore and you can good herbivore
The others is going to be good. Their largest matter might possibly be remaining the latest red coral hat compliment, and and that is it isn’t in fact an enthusiastic Acroporid Staghorn, but more Hydrozoan otherwise Bryozoan in the wild – way less demanding off serious bulbs. I’d merely keep the normal serving regimen and all sorts of often likely be fine. It appears as though a little crawfish about step one/2-3/4 inch-long, it’s a light grayish colour which have enough time whiskers and you will claws about the same proportions given that my personal Mexican yellow foot hermits, they are the same colour since human anatomy which have yellow towards the tips of your claws.
Really, I do not really trust crabs of any type, however these seem to be quite reef amicable
He is fascinating to view when i is figure out which gap he or she is from the, he could be always rebuilding the brand new mountains in front of his exits, always anything you see are an occasional claw otherwise whisker and you can a great amount of absolutely nothing bits of gravel being piled up at the front of one’s openings he or she is made. People suggestion what that it interested little creature are, or just what It’s care and attention demands and reef being compatible could well be? Appears like don’t worry 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.
It fascinating types try renown to own adorning their layer having living anemones (specific that have Calliactis varieties)
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 paltalk-quizzen small. Any other info on care and behavior would be great, as I noticed this crab is missing in your articles. <> thanks a lot <>
