Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab
The Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab is an ideal addition to any saltwater aquarium. These little guys will stand out in your aquarium with their bright blue legs. They scavenge fish waste, algae, and detritus that have been deposited on the live rock and substrate. The Blue Legs are even known to snack on the nuisance hair algae and cyanobacteria. These little guys can find their way into even the smallest of spaces. Like all hermit crabs, they make their home in empty snail shells, so be sure to have an array of empty shells available for them to move into when they grow. They will also take housing matters into their own pincers by occasionally eating a snail and taking that shell over; smaller snails are especially at risk. The Dwarf Blue Legs are very hardy but are sensitive to copper. Make sure to never add copper-based medications into an aquarium with invertebrates.
