Aquatics expert Tom Sarac provides an in-depth overview of the blue leg hermit crab! Endemic to shallow, intertidal rocky zones, reef flats and sandy areas throughout the Caribbean Sea, these small invertebrates are renowned for cleaning algae, detritus and cyanobacteria in reef aquariums. Be sure to provide them with an assortment of empty shells and the occasional feeding of dried seaweed, algae crisps and meaty foods like mysis and krill to keep them happy and healthy!
