Terrific scavenger for your reef cleanup crew, and this one loves green hair algae if you are having a problem controlling that. Can be kept in groups and should be. They will constantly work around your tank and their small size allows them to "clean" in even tight areas. |

The Red Tip Hermit Crab (Clibanarius sp.) is sometimes called a Dwarf Red Tip Hermit. It belongs to the family named Diogenidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 1.0 inches in length, the Red Tip Hermit Crab is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Clibanarius sp. in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a well established aquarium and rockwork structure.
