The Orange Marked Hermit Crab is brown with bright orange banding. One claw is larger than the other. They are a very colorful addition to the marine aquarium, and they aid in eating any left over food that may settle on the substrate. This crab lives in an abandoned snail or triton shell, or it may resort to attacking and eating a snail so it can use the shell for its home.
The Orange Marked Hermit Crab is a valuable addition to an aquarium because it will eat algae including green hair algae and cyanobacteria. In addition, it provides valuable aeration by sifting through the sand. The Orange Marked Hermit Crabs are reef safe, and will not bother invertebrates or corals.
Never heard of anything that would eat cyano.
Is this hermit a untapped resource or a marketing ploy?
