Description

Scarlet Hermit Crabs (Paguristes cadenati) are among the most popular reef-safe clean-up crew members for saltwater aquariums. Known for their bright red legs and peaceful nature, these hermits help control nuisance algae while being gentler on corals and tank mates than many other hermit crab species.
