Can anyone tell me what this hermits real name is:
Thin Striped Hermit
Attachment 225986
The Thin Striped Hermit Crab is good at removing hair algae, film algae, detritus and cyanobacteria from your tank. A versatile hermit, it will only refrain from eating diatoms in your tank. It can grow large enough to inhabit a four inch shell, making it one of the larger algae eating hermits. While it will not eat your corals, it may attack snails for their shells, and this is something to be mindful of in your tank. When it grows to full size it may become a threat to loose rock work, but no more so than the average turbo snail.
