The White-claw Hermit Crab is one of the most popular hermit crabs for the home marine aquarium. Like other members of the genus Calcinus, the White-claw Hermit Crab also has long eyestalks.
Since they scavenge for detritus and consume nuisance algae, including red slime algae (cyanobacteria), the White-claw Hermit Crab is a highly desired addition to the home reef aquarium. If there are insufficient algae in the aquarium, their diet should be supplemented with dried seaweed. Like other invertebrates, care needs to be taken with the use of medications. Additionally, strict water parameters must be maintained. Be sure to accommodate their growth by supplying empty shells of various size and shape.
