Hello,

I just added a few scarlett leg hermit crabs to my tank and one turned out to be a Starry Eyed hermit crab. I have red they can be aggressive and i do not want to return him to the store, I am afraid it will turn into manta shrimp food.

So any ideas?

Thank you

David

I had a starry eyed in my tank (ended up losing him during hurricane sandy). He may or may not have been responsible for the deaths of other hermits, but he worked his butt off in the tank. He was constantly eating stuff from the sand. Only problem is, they can grow pretty big... so you will need plenty of spare shells.

He is pretty cool, I have one little frag that I thought he was going after so I moved him and he hasn't gone back for it. When I put him into my tank first thing he did was find a new shell, looks smaller then the he came with.
