Invertebrates
Marine Reef Hermit Crab.
A hard-working saltwater hermit crab with a reddish body, white-banded legs, and long orange antennae, tucked into a borrowed snail shell among the rockwork. A tireless scavenger, it patrols the reef eating algae and leftover food as part of the cleanup crew.

Live animals are sold in store only — we do not ship fish, coral, or invertebrates. Every animal is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it reaches the sales floor. This is a species we carry — it's most likely in the tanks around delivery days, but live stock changes daily. Please call (814) 456-9445 to confirm availability before you drive in.

Good tank mates
A peaceful cleanup-crew member for reef and fish-only saltwater tanks; keep it well fed so it does not bother snails.
Good to know
Hermit crabs do not grow their own shell and must periodically swap into a larger empty shell as they outgrow the old one.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
