Terrific scavenger for your reef cleanup crew. 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 Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab (Paguristes cadenati) is sometimes called a Red-Leg Reef Hermit. It belongs to the family named Diogenidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 1.5 inches in length, the Scarlet Reef 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. Paguristes cadenati 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 rockwork structure and a well established aquarium.
