Hermit Crab - Halloween - Vibrant colouring makes this species particularly attractive. Can contribute to the tank's clean-up crew but will require supplementary feeding. Ensure that there are numerous vacant shells of increasing size available for the crab to grow into as this species has been known to kill other hermit crabs for their shells.
