Medium sized very active crab. Seems reef safe and has not bothered any fish, corals, snails, or other inverts. Cleans the sand bed of my 160 gal. reef tank very well! |

This is the most awesome crab ever. He is a good 4 inches & his shell has life barnacles covering it. He is so cute we named him Herbie after the voltzwagon Disney movie of lonf ago. He is excellent at digging the substrate all over the tank, & we actually went to a rock shop, saw this beautiful shell & brought it home, the next day Herbie was wearing his new shell! We kept his old 1 as decor on tank & also because it is covered in live barnacles. He is always sifting sand, but has gotten to wear he takes bits of fish and shrimp right from our hand. Best crab ever. We love him! |
