Scarlet Hermit Crab

The Scarlet Hermit Crab, known for its striking red body and legs, is an invaluable addition to marine aquariums, diligently scavenging detritus and aerating sand beds. Originating from the Western Atlantic Ocean, these hardy crabs thrive in shallow reef environments. They typically grow to 1 to 2 inches in shell length and have a slow but steady growth rate in captivity. Feeding them is straightforward, as they eagerly consume algae, detritus, and various foods, contributing to the tank's cleanliness.

Scarlet Hermit Crabs are compatible with Nassarius and Astrea snails, Peppermint Shrimp, Blue Leg Hermit Crabs, and Clownfish, fostering a diverse ecosystem. To ensure their well-being, provide a tank of at least 5 gallons with stable water conditions and gentle to moderate water flow. Sourcing from Saltwaterfish.com guarantees high-quality, healthy specimens, enriching your aquarium's biodiversity and maintaining its vibrancy.
