Type: Crab
Scientific Name: calcinus elegans
Color: Blue
Reef Safe: yes
Care Level: Easy


The larger of the two blue hermit crabs. This one has almost equal size claws. An omnivore, and when food is present it barrels out of hiding. It's known to steal food from my favia's and chalices when they are fed. Also has never touched my 2 3yr old Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs.

I've got one of these too. Pretty well behaved...the only complaint is that it is big enough to knock things over.

Mine knocks things over, but being a 24g cube I can deal with it. The only big thing is to look at corals it may knock over and get stung by other corals.
