what species of hermit?

BHenderson79 · 01-07-2008, 05:03 PM

I found 2 of these crabs many months ago at my LFS and bought them both. They're 2-3 times the size of the blue leg crabs in my tank and they are SO MUCH more active. They're great cleaners and fun to watch motor around the tank. I'd like to get more, but the LFS isn't sure what they were so they don't know what to order. Any ideas?
