Why We Like It

The Tibicen Hermit Crab is a hardy and active clean-up crew member, easily recognised by its dark legs and brightly coloured claws. Constantly picking through the rockwork and substrate, it helps control nuisance algae, consume leftover food and recycle detritus. Full of character and always busy, these hermits add plenty of life to a reef aquarium while providing valuable maintenance benefits. An excellent choice for reef keepers looking to add both function and personality to their aquarium.
