Hermit Crab = mobile home

My wife brought this hermit crab home. He has about five anenomes on his shell, but you can only see two in this picture. Pretty neat

is he in a reef tank? he looks kinda dangerous as in he may not be reef safe.

Cool little guy, I like his green eyes. How Big is he? Watch it close. If he is using anenomes to cover his shell their is a chance he will harm your corals.

its either a hooded crab or a crab with anemone, not safe for reef tanks

He's in my wifes nano cube not our main tank, which is not a reef tank (nano cube). We just sort of use it as a separate tank to put frags and things like this crazy crab in, but thanks for the tips. He will not go into the main tank now. He's about the size of a golfball and he is very funny to watch.

Interesting photo.....just a touch blurry....and a bit out of focus.....but I like it.....thanks for sharing.
I'd also be very cautious about keeping it in my dislay...

He is a Hermit Crab with Anemone and they are not reef safe per SWF.com and the Marine Invert books.
