Blue Leg Hermit Crab

Buy in Bulk is a special pricing opportunity that has the following caveats:


  • Packaging is 500 crabs per bag and is not dividable in smaller bagging quantities. This applies to reef club orders as well.

  • Packaging will be with minimal water and maximum oxygen. Since 14 day guarantee still applies, you need not worry as we want to make sure animals arrive safely to their new homes as well.

  • Due the popularity of these offers, delays MAY happen as supply and demand ebb and flow. You will be notified via email if there is a delay.

We are able to offer this price reduction as a direct savings to you because we realize a direct savings in employee hours, packing materials, shipping costs etc.
