Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab

Pagurstes cadenati

Reef Safe

The Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab has a big appetite for detritus and algae, especially the long-haired and slime algae. They do well in aquariums with lots of algae; however, they will eat almost everything such as fish food. Shells should be provided for the hermit crab to move into.

These inverts are for saltwater aquariums only.
