The Halloween Hermit is an Indo-Pacific hermit crab with orange and red-to-black striped legs. Its flattened body fits narrow shells like cone shells, which it wedges into rock crevices.
Why We're Obsessed
It's one of the best-looking hermits you can get, and it actually helps clean up algae and leftover food. A nice mix of color and usefulness.
Care: Generally reef safe. Larger ones may knock over loose frags, so glue frags down. Provide extra narrow, flattened shells for it to upgrade into. Max size about 2".
