Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

Urban_S · 03-05-2008, 12:39 PM

I have a Scarlet Hermit Crab which is about 2.5''. I have caught him eating mushrooms, so he was banished to my sump but my new setup is not going to have a spot for him. Anyone want him?

Are you sure it is a scarlet? Is 2" the size with the shell? And one last question, do you have a pic?

Urban_S · 03-05-2008, 03:09 PM

I am just about sure it is a scarlet. This guys shell is about 2 inches. The last one I had filled out a 4'' shell. I will get a pic when I get home.

hairy red leg hermit crab... as Ive come to know them.

**charlie** · 03-06-2008, 07:05 PM

I don't think it is a scarlet reef hermit Jerry!!!!!!

I have never seen one with claws that big.

Sarmo · 03-06-2008, 09:30 PM

he is pretty cool looking, i'd feed him to the chickens

was he a petco rescue? i've seen some monster hermits there before.
i'm at the same old place. my reef is looking good right now, but the 40 is just hanging in there. i can't grow monti's for nothing. i guess i better stick with hammers

... i got the PB&J skimmer going. it is working good. i hope to replace the huge skimmer i have on the 40 with it. how are those frags growing?????

Urban_S · 03-07-2008, 12:21 AM

It was from petco.....(in my dark reef days)(I am a reef retard. Sweet the bj&j skimmer works!!! The pavona is doing great, but the Pocillopora took a crap. I had a problem with my tank for about a month and a half. Killed the pocillopora and kept everything else from opening. MMMM I have the sps bug.

Sarmo · 03-07-2008, 08:17 AM

i can save you a trip to Spokane if want. i have 2 or 3 acro's and some other sps if you want to take a look at them. i have some encrusting hydno from Charlie that is an awesome green too. not to mention the pocillopora is bigger now than it was when i fragged it for you.
ps- that little pump you gave me is just right for the PB&J skimmer.

**charlie** · 03-07-2008, 08:27 AM

Rob, what are you up to this weekend?

Sarmo · 03-07-2008, 08:31 AM

hey Charlie, i got ski lessons on saturday. should be home by 4 or so. i think sunday is open???

what's up?

**charlie** · 03-07-2008, 08:36 AM

Give me a call Saturday when you get back from everything. I don't want to munch Jerry's thread too much.

Jerry, if you have a refugium, throw that thing in there. Maybe Kyle would want that for his 40?????????????

Urban_S · 03-07-2008, 12:19 PM

I will probly just keep him in the fung then. I wish I could buy some frags. But like usual I am broke..... Any any frags that I have I either got from you guys already so trading does not really work. Around the middle of next month I should have some extra cash....

ret25yo · 03-07-2008, 10:44 PM

pink digitata? I may have some frags available.... but I dont think I need a large softy eating crab in the tank..lol
