• Blue Leg Reef Hermit Crab; Atl. - Paguristes sp.

  • Astrea Snail

Description

The Blue Leg Reef Hermit Crab (Paguristes sp.) is a beneficial Atlantic reef custodian with a life expectancy of 2-3 years under optimal conditions. Considered reef safe, these crustaceans actively consume detritus, algae, and uneaten food, helping maintain aquarium cleanliness. They pose minimal threat to corals or invertebrates, though they may occasionally scavenge on deceased organisms. Exercise caution with small, unattached coral fragments as these opportunistic feeders may disturb them while foraging. Their shell-swapping behavior necessitates providing multiple empty shells of appropriate sizes to prevent potential conflicts with other gastropod inhabitants.
