Indentify this Hermit!

[Zman16]

I bought 2 of these brown legged hermints at the pet store but I don't see anything about them on the enternet. Is there a different name for them?

 

[Zman16]

Are these hermits bad for the tank?

 

[Zman16]

Do these hermits get big?

first, let me shake my finger at you disaprovingly for buying something about which you have no information...shame...

second, it is hard to tell what you have without a picture...

 

[Zman16]

I thought this was a zebra hermit crab!! It was only until I after I bought it did I learn it wasn't.

 

[reichebrown]

im gona go with camaro on that one...

 

[Toam]

so what are the chances of you showing us a picture of it?

 

[reichebrown]

is this a new what fish am I

 

[Zman16]

I'm trying to show u a pic but no matter what angle I get at its blurry. I'll keep trying though.

And this is not guess what fish I am.

 

[RockingCricket]

I'm wondering if it is one of these guys you are trying to get a picture of?

If it is I have them but can't help you. Sorry

Orange marked hermit? They are brown with some dark orange on the legs and white tips on the pinchers.

 

[RockingCricket]

This is the only decent pic I could find of an Orange Marked. The description that goes with it at eTropicals is that they have one claw larger than the other. I suspected mine of being those untill I read that.

 

[Mushroomman]

Hmmm, I see. Zman, does your hermit match any of these descriptions?

 

[Zman16]

Its very similar but not the same... Mine has more of a tannish look, and both claws are the same size.

this mystery may go unsolved.

 

[Zman16]

I wish I could just get a good picture of it.... But whatever they are they are good algea eaters.

 

[cinlnk]

Could it be the EVER SO RARE brown legged crab? Dude..we need a pic............ lol

 

[fish outa wata]

Does someone have a camera that you can borrow?

 

[Zman16]

Wait is there actually a rare brown legged crab or are u just joking?
