Good addition to any clean uo crew
| Comments |
I usually buy the Scarlet hermits because they do a good job cleaning left over food. And they don't disturb other tank inhabitants. Plus they don't get to large so they can't really knock anything over like some other hermits can do. Not to mention they look really cool.

| Liked about it |
They go after food on the rock and substrate pretty quickly, so it doesn't just sit there and decay.

| Didn't like |
They are a little more expensive than other hermits, but I think they are worth it.

Scarlet Hermit Crabs
| Comments |
Scarlet Hermit Crabs are not like other hermit crabs as they are relatively peaceful. This quality alone makes them a great addition to any marine aquarium. In addition to this they are very hard and require minimal care. Scarlet Hermit Crabs also tend to stay relatively small as the only grow to about 1 to 1.5 inches in size – so they should not out grow your aquarium.

The best
| Comments |
Some people think they can save money by buying cheaper cleaning crews, but i have had turbo snails, narcissus and electric blue crabs, but the only scarlets i have had are the most active and most hardy

| Liked about it |
They are ALWAYS active in the tank and will thrive in basically any conditions if you don't have any predators in the tank.

A great and colorful ditrivour!
| General |
I keep a few of these moved in with my blue legs. They seem to be a little less aggressive then the blues but just as effective at cleaning. I do not keep many of them since they cost so much more. |

Good little cleaning hermit
| General |
Overall this is a pretty good hermit crab. I ended up getting one by accident mixed in with my red-leggeds I bought. Very bright red coloration that looks great. Appear to be mostly noctournal though. Mine rarely comes out during the daylight hours. I will mostly see him out and feeding during the night. I like it quite alot though either way. |

Thoughts on Scarlett reef hermits.
| General |
Had wonderful felling for these hermit when i first purchase them, due to eating alot of my cyano I had at the moment. But over all very boring hermit due to they will find a cervice in lr or under a lr(like under the sand)and will literaly be missing for days.(mine chilled with my amphipods)I recommend going with Gulf of Mexico hermit or Left handed hermit(warning they will attack other hermits other than thier kind (has occured twice in my tank scarletts killed and 1 of my big Gulf of Mexico hermits))! |

Nice Hermit
| General |
These guys are the most secretive of my hermit crabs. They spend most of their time hiding and are out and about less often. As with all other hermits they are great scavengers and help to keep everything clean. The red legs are a nice color addition. |

good detrivore
| General |
though not the worst of hermits, I find almost all crabs to be opportunistic and will attack smaller inverts for various reasons. I don't care for them in a reef tank, but they are active and fun to watch. |
