Dwarf Hermit Crab
Clibanarius tricolor
Origin: Africa, Indian Ocean, Caribbean – Florida, Bahamas, Western Atlantic
Size: Up to 3cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Omnivore/Detritivore – grazes on algae, film, detritus, uneaten food; supplement with dried seaweed and meaty foods if needed.
Care Level: Easy – very hardy and well-suited to reef aquariums.
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-aggressive – generally peaceful but may compete with other hermits for shells.
Captive-Bred Available: ❌ No
Notes:
The Dwarf Hermit Crab is a popular reef janitor, constantly grazing on nuisance algae and cleaning up uneaten food. To avoid aggression, provide a variety of empty shells of different sizes. They are very small but highly active, adding movement and utility to a cleanup crew.
Why We Like It:
A hardworking and colourful member of any clean-up crew, the Dwarf Hermit Crab helps control algae and detritus.
