Unknown Hermit Crab

[jayson417]

Unknown hermit crab here, He is very aggressive and totally unlike my other hermits. He basically killed my emerald crab inside 10mins and made his head into a hat for him
The he tried to use his claw as a baseball bat in a tank mate game of baseball.(Picture Below)

Throw him in your sump or refugium.

Yea i tossed him in my QT for the moment until i decide what to do. He is big enough to eat j/k

Looks rather like Dardanus venosus, the starry eyed hermit crab.
Quite pretty, but definitely going to be on the aggressive side.

Yes he cost $12 he is about 2 inches.
Didn't think he would be aggressive as i have 3 of them and they don't harm a fly but this guy wow is he a bad boy!
