Fmxmatt Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Lucky! If they're tropical ones, you've got urself a score there! Not many are avaialble, and alot of us reefers would pay good money for one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 how do i tell they seem fine and happy living in 27*c water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 To me, the fact its covered in coralline on its shell indicates its been in those conditions for a long time. I haven't heard of many native hermit crabs that have lived very long in a reef environment. See if you can get a close pic of him and maybe someone on here could identify it?

Fmxmatt Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yes very true. The one with orange bands on it though is one i'm sure i've seen as being a tropical species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolliolli Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 that trigger is not in a good way , i had a look at him a few days ago and he seems to have some sort of swim bladder problem, keeps lying on the coral rock and seems unable to keep upright falling left and right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
