Red Tip Hermit Crab
The Red Tip Hermit Crab is an ideal addition to any saltwater aquarium. They will scavenge fish waste, algae, and detritus that have been deposited on the live rock and substrate. 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 Red Tips are very hardy but are sensitive to copper. Make sure to never add copper-based medications into an aquarium with invertebrates.
