Hermit crabs such as the Calcinus Gaimardii (Dwarf hermit) are very interesting animals and good cleaners, which is why they are often part of the clean-up team that first enters the aquarium.
The animals themselves only grow to about 2 - 3 cm, but because they have no protection themselves, they look for a snail shell to live in. As the animal grows, it will continue to look for a larger home, which must be present in the aquarium. They often also take houses from snails such as the Turbo Fluctuose, by pulling the snail out of the house.
This hermit does not grow very large and is therefore very suitable for nano aquariums.
