    Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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?

    Re: Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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.

    Re: Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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?????

    Re: Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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.

    Re: Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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.

    Re: Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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?????????????

    Re: Anyone want a Scarlet Hermit crab

    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....

    And welcome to our little forum, glad you stopped by.

    Being that this thread is 18 months, I know for a fact that the crab is gone.
