Crabs!

[jerthunter]

Just thought I'd share some recent pictures of my crabs.
#1 is of my big scarlet hermit, this guy has been doing alot of climbing up the side of my tank and up my filter suction but everytime I get my camera he has already fallen so for now this picture of him on the ground will have to suffice.
#2 I actually got a chance to catch this zebra hermit climbing, pretty impressive for a little guy if you ask me.
#3 My second emerald crab, I was smart and took a picture of him as soon as I added him so he couldn't hide on me
#4 Just a misc hermit, got him with some blue legs I guess...
#5 Another zebra hermit, these guys are quickly becoming my favorate hermits.

Those are some nice looking crab pictures. I must say the red scarlett hermits are my favorite... They do not cause trouble and they just work their buts off.

I wish my scarlets worked their butts off. They are lazy!

I like my scarlet hermit because he is a good size and doesn't cause any problems like the much smaller killer blue legs I have. I haven't had any problems with my new zebras and they seem to work pretty hard too.

Does anyone else have hermit that crawl straight up the side of their tank? I am impressed that they can climb up the glass with just the use of the coraline algae.

oh yea mine used to use the silicone in the corners to climb up the tank

Here is a pic of my biggest scarlet

This is by far the most active and interesting crab I have ever seen...a great addition to my tank.
And one of the above hermits is a "blue knee hermit"

Just thought I would find an old post of mine and add a picture I got of my crab from my sump. I think it is pretty cool, although not the best picture.
